Stock Photo Images of Bighorn Sheep

Bighorn Sheep. A new set of stock photos by Chris Star The bighorn sheep Ovis canadensis are named for the large, curved horns borne by the rams (males). Ewes (females) also have horns, which are shorter with less curvature

Bighorn sheep are abundant throughout Jasper National Park in Alberta, and are most commonly seen along Highway 16 between Hinton and Jasper, at Medicine Lake, and at Miette Hot Springs.

Animal jams are common as the sheep will look for salt on the roads in winter and often lick bugs off your vehicle in summer. View more stock photography from Chris Star here.
