Desert Bighorn Sheep
(Ovis canadensis nelsoni)
Bighorns inhabit precipitous areas of all elevations. Winter range is occupied from 12-1 to 4-15. Breeding occurs from November-January. Desert bighorn parturition occurs from 4-1 to 5-31 and rocky mountain bighorns give birth from 5-1 to 6-15. Weaning in these game animals occurs after 6 months. Bighorns are sensitive to disturbance. Water is critical for herd survival.
