"The
magnificent horns of the bighorn ram are recognized worldwide as
a symbol of strength and power, combined with an almost delicate
beauty that sets this animal apart as an esteemed member of our
prized natural heritage. But he’s not just good looking. Anyone
who has watched these awesome animals navigate rocky cliffs with
agility and speed can attest to that. I once watched a male pursue
an uninterested female all over the face of a cliff and was sure,
more than once, that they were both going to miss a ledge and plunge
into the Big Thompson River below. Of course, they didn't, but the
ram did have to go home alone, at least that time." - Rosetta |
