Young bighorn ram

Young bighorn ram
Probably a desert bighorn, Ovis canadensis nelsoni. On the road between Empire and Sulphur, Nevada, south of the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada and a bit east of Trego Hot Springs. This is an unusual occurrence! Maybe this guy is still trying to find a territory. In any case, we were delighted to see him. The insert shows another view as he decided to move away.

Thanks, everyone! Usually you don't see them down in the flats like this. George, if you think the horns are impressive now, wait'll you see them when he's fully mature! ;) The ewes also have horns, but they're lots smaller.

Andy, Pam, Janet, thanks! It was an unusual sighting--we were very lucky. Lots of the bighorn populations locally have been devastated by domestic sheep diseases.
