Dall sheep typically frequent the open alpine ridges, meadows and mountainsides with extremely rugged “escape terrain” in the immediate vicinity. Male Dall sheep are called rams and have massive curling horns, whereas ewes have shorter, slightly curved horns. Rams’ horn clashing is a means of establishing social order.
This spirited pinto was romping in a huge meadow near Grand Teton National Park, challenging other horses to run and play. It’s always exciting when an animal shows spirit, curiosity or different emotions through its actions and behaviors. Oftentimes when wildlife is spotted the animal is just grazing or walking slowly with its head down. This guy wasn’t about to let the day pass without having a great time!
