It is pretty obvious where bighorn sheep get their names. Just look at at any male and you can see the massive horns that its head looks like it can barely support. There is a reason for that as their horns can weigh up to thirty pounds. They are found mostly in western North America and are thought to have migrated over the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia. They are legendary for their ability to climb high, steep, rocky mountain areas. We found a small herd of them in the early morning light on our way to Two Jack Lake. The rising sun was positioned low in the sky and it shone directly in this one’s face, lighting his head perfectly. In this light, the ridges of his horns became very pronounced.
