Borrego!

We got here, and within 20 minutes, I was looking up at the crest of the mountains when I noticed something moving. Something big. It was two big-horn sheep (borregos). They watched me from the top of the ridge. They slowly moved along the ridge. Then, suddenly, they started chasing each other all the way along the mountain, bouncing up and down.

As we watched with binoculars, they disappeared from sight. Then, five minutes later, they were back. They chased each other across the mountain a second time!

Here's a picture of big horns I took in Glacier National Park in Montana. The ones today were too far for me to take a good picture. Try doing a google image search to find your own borrego pix. Click here to learn more about big horns. What do you think the horns are for?
