This habitat opened just last year. It is a replica of the Rocky Mountains and exhibits Mountain Goats, Bighorn Sheep and Dahl's Sheep.
Mountain GoatsMountain Goats have been known to drop 10 m (30 ft.) to a lower rock ledge without injuring themselves. They can stand comfortably with all four feet clinging to a rock no bigger than a mans outstretched hand. Mountain Goats are the most versatile climbers of all North American mammals.
Bighorn SheepAll bighorn sheep have horns but the large curl of
the adult male horns is most impressive.
While mountain goats are found at rocky heights,
bighorn sheep use the slopes at lower elevations.
Herds of these sheep can be found on grassy
pastures close to steep escape terrain.
Bighorn sheep are found in a variety of mountain habitats ranging from
sem-deserts to forest. In Canada, they are found in the central and southern
mountains of Alberta and British Columbia.
