Dall Sheep
5809 A Dall ram stretches upon standing up. Dall Sheep use the same beds over and over and this stains their knees and body parts that touch the ground.
5814 A close up of a dall ram shows the golden horns in the warm afternoon sun. Dall sheep are called thinhorn sheep because of the finer shape and structure of their horns when compared to the bighorns farther south.
5816 With their white coats and golden horns, dall sheep are magnificent animals.
5830 Dall sheep live in Alaska and northern parts of the yukon and in a few other Canadian provinces. They must cope with exteme cold and without sunlight during winter's coldest months.
5846 Dall rams break the tips of their horn during courting battles with other rams. Each ram has a distinct look and each ram can be identified by his appearance.
5853 Don't Eat the Yellow Snow This dall ram sticks out his tongue. It is some kind of a signal to other rams, but has nothing to do with yellow snow.
5862 Whispers This dall ewe nuzzles the ear of a ram. Ewes seek out the company of rams as the rut approaches. Several rams will pursue a ewe when they think she is receptive.
5876 Look At Me! This dall ram shows off his wide set of horns from behind a rock. If he survives for a few more years, he will be very impressive.
5878 King of the Mountain This dall ram was the largest ram I saw on this trip. His neck is starting to swell with muscle in preparation for courting battles with other rams.
