Desert Bighorn Sheep

13 - Competition
At one time, well over one hundred thousand of these existed in an area far larger than the ranges of today. In over eighteen mountain ranges these beautiful animals are now extinct. Although they've adapted well to higher, steeper ground, feral burros and wild horses introduced by the Spanish, and later by Anglo-settlers, still compete for the vegetation the Bighorn Sheep once claimed.
