Big Horn Sheep (Ram) In Profile at the Denver Zoo

Best viewed Large on Black

Also called Rocky Mountain Sheep, they are found from southern British Columbia, Canada to northwestern Mexico. A full-grown bighorn may average 40 in (102cm) at the shoulder and range in weight from 175 to 350 lbs (80 to 159kg). The curved horns, which may turn more than 360 degrees, attain a length of up to 50 inches (up to 127cm) and can weigh up to 30 pounds (14 kg). The coat is not woolly but long, full, and coarse, like that of a goat. The animals have a short mating season, during which the rams clash head-on in a battle for the ewes. The bighorns are preyed upon mainly by mountain lions (aka pumas, cougars) and leap from ledge to ledge at great speed gripping slippery surfaces with the shock-absorbing elastic pads of the feet to make their escape. Golden Eagles may also take young lambs.
