One of the most exciting rituals in
all of nature is the annual rutting
season of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn
Sheep. Filmmaker Leon Lorenz takes
you off the beaten track of Jasper
National Park and into its
wilderness areas to film their
unique behaviors. He also takes you
into Cadomin, Alberta where some of
the largest rams live. Watch close
and exciting wild action as they
engage in spectacular
confrontations.
On cliffs the 18 month old yearlings
display a "catch me if you can"
attitude as they literally run
circles around the mature rams which
are in pursuit of the ewes. Their
agility and youthful energy make for
very exciting chases. See rams being
rolled over, tee-boned down
mountains, knocked over cliffs,
coyotes interacting with a herd of
sheep and so much more.
This video is the first of its kind
to cover all the behaviors of the
Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
throughout the rutting season. It
truly brings out the strength,
finesse and majestic beauty of these
animals. All age groups will find it
very entertaining and educational.
