Bob was looking through video clips from a trip we took back in December 2017 when he found video of a desert bighorn ram walking past the entrance to the Arch Rock Campground in Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. He cropped this frame from the video, since it seemed to show the ram the best.
The bighorn sheep in this park seem to be used to visitors enough at least to not mind being seen by humans. They sometimes hang around the campground area for a long time.
One of their adaptations of living in the desert is that they can go without water for longer times than other bighorn sheep in wetter areas. Valley of Fire State Park only averages about 4 inches of rain each year.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
