Banff wildlife: Bighorn sheep (aka Rocky Mountain sheep) and a goat

Of all the wildlife we saw in Banff, the bighorn sheep were the most plentiful. They were everywhere! They appeared mostly in groups but sometimes flew solo. They were able to climb the steepest of rock with ease and were most frequently seen mineral deposits from the rocks and roadside.

Here are a few of my fav sheep pics, plus the one goat we saw.










In case you're wondering, both the males and females of the bighorn sheep have horns.
