Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep lamb learns to walk on water

Who knew they could do this, eh? 😉 Most of the herd started on the opposite of the South Platte River from me but it wasn’t long before they crossed over. The rams and ewes waded across with out creating a splash but the little ones were not too keen on the depth and speed of the water so they tended to bound across pretty quickly. I was lucky enough to freeze the action of this one as it leaped. Lighting was horrendous with deep shadows but it was fun to see.
