agile by globalgadabout

desert bighorn sheep are remarkably agile...due to having soft, pliable inner pads on their convex hooves, they can climb very steep rock outcrops

Well spotted and captured, and he looks like he'd have to be agile to get around there. Interesting about the pads, too. V.

Outstanding photo, David, great to see this agile sheep in these impressive surroundings. The rock in the upper left corner looks like an elephant's head to me.
