Not to be confused with the Bighorn Sheep, the Thinhorn Sheep of northern North America has two color forms, the white Dall's Sheep of Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories, and the gray Stone's Sheep of British Columbia. Intermediate color forms are found in BC and Yukon.

This is Stone's Sheep also called Stone Sheep near Muncho Lake, BC.

Doug,


Bravo for this work and generously sharing this fine collection!



Superb photographs of a noble and handsome creature. Do we know whether these are native of this continent or the descendants of animals brought by settlers?

I do know that the tusked wild boars have descended from about 4 pigs brought by the Spanish Conquistadors!

I found an interesting book, The Mountain Sheep of North America!
