desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni)


Due to the increasing pressure of human populations in and around Zion, the native desert bighorn sheep were extirpated from the park in the 1950s. In the 1970s, over a dozen bighorn were reintroduced. Today, over 150 roam the east side of the park. Still a species of concern, park biologists closely monitor the health of the population in Zion. To catch a glimpse of these amazing animals is to catch a glimpse of what conservation and protection of a species can do in your national parks. NPS Photo/Jonathan Fortner
