Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), seen on my morning walk in in Phoenix, Arizona.
These sheep are actually denizens of the Phoenix Zoo, in Papago Park. Geologically, the park comprises a grouping of sandstone monadnocks – isolated hills of red rock that rise abruptly from the surrounding terrain. The zoo has built its bighorn enclosure on the side of the southernmost hill – visible from the park’s trails, and a pleasant surprise for the urban hiker.
