    Desert Mountain Sheep in Mojave National Preserve are very dependent on springs. Many of the thousands of springs, in California, have been modified by humans. Posted 11 years ago

The Bighorn sheep

The bighorn sheep is a species of sheep in North America named for its large horns. These horns can weigh up to 30 lb, while the sheep themselves weigh up to 300 lb. Recent genetic testing indicates three distinct subspecies of "Ovis canadensis", one of which is endangered.
