| Image Title: Bighorn Ram Line 1, Yellowstone NP, WY Photographer's Notes: On the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park, you can find a healthy population of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Bachelor herds are not uncommon before the rut (mating season) which takes place during the month of November. This group of 14 rams, edge Yellowstone's northern park boundary. I have yet to figure out why they graze the landscape in such fashion... Lining up shoulder to shoulder working their way along. Is it self defense? Is the group competing for best forage, by watching the lead ram graze? I'm not sure...
