Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are the rarest mountain sheep in North America. After the population dropped to around 100 animals in 1995, this unique sub-species was listed as an endangered species. In the spring of 2015, these charismatic animals were released into the heart of Yosemite for the first time in over 100 years.

I don't like the video dislike !
Kudos to Steve Bumgardner for his fine video footage and Dr. John Weyhausen and the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Foundation for pioneering efforts at Bighorn Sheep research and relocation. John Muir did not realize that the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep were unique to the Sierra Nevada. The sheep are not easy to spot and many backpackers are not even aware that they are traveling through Bighorn Sheep territory.
there so beautiful
Where do the sheep in Yosemite go in the winter to get out of the deep snow?
They flew over to St. Louis and grabbed the Rams and brought them back.
Such an awesome filming & Sharing here ! 5 thumbs up high 🙂

Some humans can correct mistakes that other humans make, but the vast majority of humans cannot correct the mistakes they make or learn from them.

One time in So.Cal. if I remember correctly. around Redlands I was following a stream bed into the foothills I walked back a couple hours outta nowhere this guy in a vehicle shows up, he was a Biologist studying Big Horns, He told me that I was only about 3 miles away from them and I should keep going, I turned back, regret to this day. thanks.

I know right why can human being just leave mother nature and the natural habitat for the animal alone human human is way too overpopulated it's terrible nowadays it's even worse now it's like human is like taking every corner of Earth to call their own no this world or doesn't belong to Human especially the government governments are the worst one claiming every National Forest and keep it in the safe is great but it's like you making money off people that doesn't belong to you it's been a long to itself
Great story. Beautiful footage. Thank you.

That ram is going to have nightmares.
I mean it's great that they are trying to help an endangered specie but the part where they captured the animal with a net, separated it from it's herd transported it in a bag tied to the helicopter is cruel to me, and the fact that she says 'total different experience to the visitors to the park' makes me question the role of the profit, who the fuck cares about fucking visitors experience.Also what is up with the collars?
What is the Music towards end?
So amazing, Just beautiful!!!!
Everyone knows that these animals are bovids.
So, how does it feel to have a collar placed around your neck?
How long does that collar remain?
America land of Shem
