bighorn – My Earth

Desert bighorn sheep over the city

This trail cam video capture was a really nice surprise! These bighorn sheep are part of the translocation of bighorn to the Catalina mountains by Tucson that started in 2013. I suppose it’s possible that some of these individuals are offspring of the original animals that were re-introduced at that time.

Bighorn sheep

Bighorn sheep were re-introduced to this mountain range about 12 years ago. Since then my trail cams have caught them, now and then, on the opposite side of the range they were released into. The video shows a mixed herd of males and females. The photo is an edited screen capture from the video.
