The male person was looking out the window of the yurt and he saw something across the river.
Do you see what I see?
It's my cousins!
Elk!
Elk are ruminants just like goats.
They are much, much bigger than goats.
Especially Nigerian Dwarf goats.
In fact the only member of the deer family that is bigger than an elk is a moose.
I have never seen a moose.
It would be nice to meet my cousin the moose but the male person says that I would probably be scared and run.
Harumph!
Anyway, the elk across the river stayed for a while just munching on the new shoots of yummy green grass.
I can't say that I blame them.
If I had yummy shoots of new green grass I would munch on them too.
Hmmmm, maybe I should cross the river!
Does anyone have a boat I can borrow?
The publicist went on a little trip.
She took Harry to have his pom poms removed.
She also had something called a "mammogram."
She says this is a very important test for humans to have.
October is a good month to have them because it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I am glad that I don't have to have this test.
I don't like tests.
But back to the fun stuff.
On her trip she saw some of my cousins!
My cousins seem to be everywhere.
This time she and the male person saw Bighorn Sheep.
First they saw a herd in a field.
This herd had some rams in it with curly horns.
They were far away so it is hard to see the curly horns in the photo.
Then as they were driving they saw this...
More sheep!
Oh no!
A lamb is crossing the road right in front of traffic!
It made it across OK.
Whew!
They were able to get really good photos since the sheep were so close to the road.
This herd were ewes and lambs.
Aren't they pretty?
I think so.
Of course they saw them again on the way back.
It looks like they have some yummy grazing on the side of the road but it does not look safe to me.
In fact, this little one looks a bit scared.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my cousins the Bighorn Sheep.
I sure enjoyed showing them to you.
