EDITORS COMMENTS
Say Cheese! This Desert Bighorn Sheep knows how to strike a pose and show off his playful side. Caught in the act of sticking out his tongue, this adult male is not just goofing around - he's actually scenting a female on heat! In the vast deserts of Arizona, USA, love is in the air for these magnificent creatures. With their impressive horns and captivating behavior, it's no wonder they're known as nature's rockstars. This close-up shot allows us to admire every detail of this handsome ram's head, from his expressive eyes to those unmistakable horns. As an herbivore with a refined taste for romance, our fluffy friend relies on his sense of smell to find potential mates. With each whiff that tickles his nostrils, he can detect the alluring scent of a female nearby. It seems like love truly knows no bounds when it comes to these hoofed Casanovas! While this particular photo was taken in captivity during February (no commercial use intended), it serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within North American wildlife. So next time you're exploring the desert landscapes or simply browsing through stunning prints like this one by FLPA/Bob Gibbons, take a moment to appreciate Mother Nature's quirky creations and her knack for capturing hearts. . . and scents!
