A shot from my last visit to Jasper National Park in Alberta – this male rocky mountain bighorn sheep seemed quite happy to pose for photographs before heading down the rocks in search of a shrubbery or grass to chew on (see hungry sheep). Bighorn sheep are fairly common in Jasper, where approximately 3000 of the animals call the park home. Being grass loving grazers, bighorns will migrate seasonally around the park from low-lying grassy slopes, up to the lush alpine meadows in the summer. But no matter what the season, they always keep a rocky ledge just a stone throws away, just in case!
