Glacier National Park & the Big Horn Sheep

One of the great things about being an American is the wonderful national parks that are available for our leisure. One of the great parks America has to offer is Glacier National Park. With incredible sights, geographical features that inspire and wildlife that is pristine, there are few places that can top this uniquely American park. One of the most interesting wildlife found in the park is the Big Horn Sheep, while incredibly beautiful, this sheep is also endangered.


The Big Horn Sheep of Glacier National Park
The big horn sheep found in Glacier National Park are awe inspiring. Their horns can reach to a length of more than 42 inches and they can be spotted on incredibly high and steep cliffs just inches from the edge. Unfortunately, it was only about 200 years ago that there were about 2 million of these sheep in North American, today there are about 28K in North American and around 800 in Glacier National Park.
