Adapted perfectly to their rugged environment, bighorn sheep are known for their agility and strength. Equipped with hooves that can grip the steep and rocky terrain of the mountains they inhabit, these sheep are formidable climbers. The social structure of bighorn sheep is quite intricate, with females (ewes) living in herds with their young, while males (rams) typically form smaller groups or remain solitary until the mating season. Conservation efforts have been pivotal in maintaining the populations of these iconic creatures, which faced significant decline in the past due to overhunting and disease.
