Bighorn Sheep Baby Onesie

Bighorn Sheep by Constance Puttkemery. Bighorn sheep are gray/brown to dark brown in color with white patches on their rump, muzzle and back of legs. They have wide-set eyes that provide a large angle of vision. This along with sharp hearing and a highly-developed sense of smell can detect dangers at great distances. Specialized hooves and rough soles provide a natural grip as bighorn sheep make precarious jumps and breath-taking climbs up and down sharp cliff faces. As their name suggests, bighorn sheep have true horns that they retain throughout their life. Males, called rams, have large horns that curl around their faces by eight years of age. These horns can weigh up to 30 pounds. Females, called ewes, have smaller horns that curve slightly to a sharp point within the first four years of life. This is a photograph of an ewe.

Constance retired from the financial services arena when she moved to northwest Montana in 2009. She has traveled extensively throughout North & South America, Asia, Europe and has lived in India. Her passion for photography was inspired by the beautiful and fascinating places she has visited. Living in Montana has brought her back to nature. Constance has a passion for nature & wildlife, especially birds and hopes that you enjoy viewing her images as much as she enjoyed capturing them.
