Ovis canadensis
Bighorns are named for the rams' large, curling horns. They are brownish tan with a tan/white rump. The males may weigh up to 143 kg (300 pounds). Ewes are considerably smaller and while having horns as well, their horns are shorter, more slender, and tend not to curve as much.
High rocky cliffs and alpine meadows.
