Thanks

for adding some wild american sheep to our Sheep gallery, which is largely populated with domestic sheep!

I love the slightly comical look this photo has. It's like a synchronized singing group, with fanned out choreography. Remember the Los Angeles Rams cheerleaders- the 'Embracable Ewes?'from the 1970's?

Re: girl group

I'm sorry I was too young at that time to remember, but yes it's funny how they are all in sync in this photo.
They are very intelligent and always like to look first and judge the situation. If they determine that I'm not a threat then there is no purpose for them to run and exhaust themselves.

Thanks for looking at their pictures. They are my favorite animals here in Nevada. I spent hours observing them. It never gets old.

Re: girl group

The comedy side of this pic made me think of whack-a-mole: when you finally give up, they all pop up at the same time. :)

Re: girl group

Initially it was only one of them, the most curious I guess. Then another one popped and another, etc... They always love to be higher than you and then give you this "catch me if you can" type of look.
