Description
We saw these young big horns near the road just past Medicine Lake in Jasper National Park. I was wondering how this one would get off that tree, it just jumped.
These iconic Rockies creatures have a sandy-brown coat and a white rump patch. Rams have massive spirally curved brown horns, while ewes have short, spiky brown horns.Bighorns are primarily grazers, and migrate seasonally between low grassy slopes and alpine meadows.
