Artist's notes:
 The
Desert Bighorn is a 're-do' from an earlier drawing. For
all the times I've ventured into the mountainous desert
areas where these beautiful animals roam, I've never been
fortunate enough to catch site of them. I did manage to
see them, however, at the excellent outdoor exhibit at the
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Information about the Desert Bighorn:
The Desert Bighorn Sheep is a subspecies of Bighorn Sheep
found in the mountainous desert areas of the Southwestern
US and into northern Mexico. Like other bighorn, they have
padded hooves that allow them to traverse the steep, rocky
terrain of the desert mountains. They have excellent eyesight
which are used to help avoid mountain lions, bobcats and
other predators. These sheep have developed the ability
to go long periods of time without needing water. Growth
rings in the horns indicate the age of the animal. It is
the official state animal of Nevada.
