Females are much smaller than males. Other Common Names: Size: Range: Parts of Alberta, B.C., Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming; August - October. Natural History: Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep are found mainly in alpine tundra and mountain slope grasslands associated with rugged escape terrain. They prefer areas with low precipitation levels in winter, seeking out south-facing grasslands below 600 m, but occasionally up to 1800 m. Summer ranges, on the other hand, are usually slopes at 2000-2500 m. Bighorn Sheep usually eat grasses and sedges, but their diet also can include shrubs. Except for the mating season, adult males live in all-male groups, usually on a separate home range from ewes and juveniles. Mating takes place in November and December, followed by gestation period of around 175 days. A single lamb is born in late May or early June is usually weaned in 4-6 months.
