Colorado Nature Nook #1

Colorado State Animal

 

Scientific Name: Ovis canadensis canadensis

On May 1, 1961,  This animal was officially designated as the state animal of Colorado. These animals are native to North America, and you can easily identify them by their robust build and the rams’ impressive, curved horns. As their names imply, they’re capable of living in the Rockies and traversing steep, rocky terrain while exhibiting incredible agility and balance. 

It’s also not uncommon to see males weighing up to 500 pounds and females weighing up to 200 pounds among these mammals. Since these animals are mainly found in the Rocky Mountain region of North America, which includes Colorado, they were chosen as the official animal to represent the state.
