The bighorn sheep is one of two species of wild sheep in North America with large horns, the other being the Dall sheep ( Ovis dalli). The bighorn sheep's keen eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell help it detect and avoid predators. Their wide-set eyes are situated well forward on the head, providing a wide arc of exceptional vision. Most weigh 160 to 250 pounds (73 to 113 kilograms), but males may weigh more than 350 pounds (159 kilograms) and stand around 40 inches (102 centimeters) at the shoulder. The bighorn sheep's compact body is muscular, with chocolate brown fur trimmed in white on the muzzle, rump, and belly.
