interesting facts and information about the Bighorn Ram.
The bighorn (Ovis canadensis) is a native North American sheep with a compact, muscular body, short muzzle and ears and short tail. These sheep are brownish grey with white muzzle and rump. Both sexes have horns, the male has the huge, spiral, transversely ribbed horns, which can weigh up to 30 pounds. Their typical horn clashing occurs during the mating season or "rut."
Bighorns feed on grasses, herbs and tender shoots. They are exceedingly sure-footed. The cloven hooves are pliable and concave producing a suction cup of sorts.
Bighorns produce one or two lambs per year after a six month gestation. They reach their prime in about eight years. These sheep are gregarious, the rams leave the ewes in the summer but rejoin them in the fall.
The bighorns' lifespan is about 15 years in the wild.
