Bighorn Ram
I found a herd of 15 Bighorn Sheep in Jasper National Park. I followed them up onto a ridge and watched them for several hours. There were 5 or 6 rams, several ewes and a couple of young ones. These sheep tirelessly hoof away the snow to expose the grass underneath. Very occasionally, 2 rams would butt heads. It was -20 Celsius, but they didn't seem to mind. Their fur hairs are hollow, trapping air inside and making for the perfect insulator.
