Howdy, guys thanks for wanting to know more about me. If you guys want to see me, you should know how to tell me from other animals. The pictures to the right will show you what sets me apart from other sheep and shows my footprint. You can tell me apart from other sheep because of my curved brown horns. I also have a light brown coat and a small brown tail. I have white patches on my rump and muzzle. This is shown to the right.
As all of you can see from the picture to the left I am in B.C. and other provinces and states around North America. If you compare the picture below to the picture on the left you can see my habitat is in areas of high elevations. The map below shows how me and my Rocky Mountian Big Horn Sheep friends are getting close to being extinct. There is a explanation what the colors mean below.
Dark Blue-Presumed Extinct Grey-Possibly Extinct Red-Population Critical Orange-Population Getting Critical Yellow-Population Vurnerable Light Blue-Migratory Area
Me and my buddies are dissapearing because we have to share the grasslands with cows. The cows are introduced to our area by farmers and eat all of our grass. As well, when we migrate, our routes have had cities and roads built on them. This does not let us to move around to visit our friends. Since we travel in groups of guys and girls if I want to go visit the girls I have to travel around you humans. In the summer and there are fires the firefighters take the grass (our food) and burn it so the fires dont spead. How would you like it if I burnt your dinner before you ate it! These are the reasons why me and my friends are not around so much anymore.
