Bighorn Ewe - Jumping for Joy This bighorn ewe was in a rather playful mood as we watched her jump and gallop around the herd during sunrise in South Dakota's Badlands National Park. I must admit, I can get up early to photograph these animals, but I don't always have the energy so early in the morning like she does!
