Next time you drive over Wolf Creek Pass keep your eyes open for some beautiful creatures. These Bighorns were spotted near Treasure Falls. They did not mind being photographed.

Bighorn Sheep (Ovis Canadensis) are beautiful and majestic creatures. They are typically found in the higher elevations near water sources or rocky cliff areas.  They eat grasses and other plants. Bighorn Sheep have hooves adapted to steep, rocky terrain and use their climbing abilities to escape predators. Bighorn Sheep live to about 10 years old with a maximum life span of 20 years.
