Desert Bighorn Sheep

8 - Bighorn Herds
Like all sheep, bighorn can form herds of over 100 individuals. However, small groups of 8 to 10 are more common. Rams, forming bachelor bands, tend to stay apart from ewes and lambs most of the year, but join them during the mating (rut). During this time, rams will snort loudly, lambs will bleat, and ewes will respond with a "ba-baa" sound.
