Description

The Desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) population in the Grand Canyon is the only non-re-introduced population of this species, making them important for bighorn conservation efforts across the southwest. Commonly seen on steep terrain and cliffs, bighorn are the largest native animal in the park, with rams weighing up to 250 lbs. (113 kg). While both sexes grow horns, the thick, spiraled horns develop only on males. Take a Minute Out In It to stroll along the rim with this rugged Canyon native.
