5.6K views · 123 reactions | Wildlife Biologists in Regions 4 & 6 have now completed their annual Missouri River Breaks bighorn sheep surveys. Sheep numbers are a little lower this year (likely drought-related) but still near objective numbers and overall the population remains healthy! Check out this great footage. #fwpwildtalkthursday | Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks | Facebook

This was truly a nice herd of bighorn sheep. I encountered them roaming the foothills deep in western Montaana and was able to observe them for a few minutes. Note the bighorns on the distant ridge and in the shade of the trees. #outdoors #nature #animals | Michael Hodges, Author

(Eating woodier plants like sage and willow in the winter). ☘️ They are ruminants with a 4-part stomach that allows them to eat a lot, then retreat to a cliff, safe from predators, to rechew and digest. They absorb moisture during this digestive process, so they can go without water for long periods of time. /  @montanamaaike  | The Ranch at Rock Creek | Facebook
