I went for a nice walk this beautiful saturday morning and was surprised with what I saw. The place was called Waterton Canyon and it is only about 5 miles south of my apartment. The first wildlife I saw was a group of deer. They were right in the middle of the trail! (Maybe they were some of Santa's reindeers visiting Colorado...I didn't see Rudolph though:) I kept walking another mile or two into the canyon and saw the biggest bighorn sheep I have ever seen. They were perched atop the mountain rubbing their horns against each other. They live right along mountainsides and have very strong, sharp feet to climb up the mountains. Their horns are curled and they are like monster deers, not quite as big as elk. I think they are also called Rams sometimes, depending on the person you talk to. So I hope you like the pictures of the animals I saw today, Charlie and Jack. If you come to visit me I can take you for a walk to see the bighorn sheep!
