Bighorn sheep

Description:

Bighorn sheep have large, curved horns borne by the rams (males). Ewes (females) also have horns, but they are shorter with less curvature.They range in color from light brown to grayish or dark, chocolate brown, with a white rump and lining on the back of all four legs. Males typically weigh 127–316 pounds, are 36–41 inches tall at the shoulder, and 69–79 inches long from the nose to the tail. Females are typically 75–188 pounds, 30–36 inches tall and 54–67 inches long. Male bighorn sheep have large horn cores, enlarged cornual and frontal sinuses and internal bony septa. These adaptations serve to protect the brain by absorbing the impact of clashes. They are mammals, so they use sexual reproduction. Bears also share their enviroment. they have a symbiotic relationship with bears, who eat them sometimes.

Habitat:

Upper half of mountains, usually near forests.
