Desert Bighorn Sheep, Valley of Fire, Nevada.
Bighorn sheep are mountain-dwelling mammals known for their large, spiraling horns and excellent climbing skills thanks to their split hooves and strong grip. Males, called rams, have huge horns and are known to butt heads with other males to establish dominance and mating rights.
