Dall sheep have a broad habitat. They are a
sub arctic as well as arctic animal. The most northern group of these animals live in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The alpine ridges, meadows, and steep, rocky slopes that have "escape terrain" are where the dall sheep live. The flock likes to rest and feed on these slopes. They are also there to keep away from predators because they can flee to the rocks easier than their predators. Some of these predators would include bear, golden eagles, wolves, and humans. Rams weigh 200-250 lb., Ewes weigh 110-150 lb. They are known for their magnificent curling horns. |
