Yellowstone Cuteness Contest: Bighorn Lambs or Bison Calves?
Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 08:27PM On a rocky slope overlooking the Gardner River today, two newborn bighorn sheep lamps discovered they could run. Back and forth they leapt and trotted on the rocks, delighting in their newfound revelation of speed. While I watched, I envisioned them singing the Peter Pan song, "I Can Fly, I Can Fly!"
Photos and a video are below (sorry for the bumpy video--it's been very windy in Yellowstone and I don't always have a tripod with me).
Over the weekend I watched bison calves play. Today, I gazed at frisky bighorn sheep lambs. Cast your vote--who is the cuter Yellowstone baby?

Hard to choose between them, I am partial to bighorn sheep but still bison babies are cute too.
Call it even.
I think if I had to choose I'd pick the bison babies. I so envy you getting to view so much of the life in Yellowstone.
Bighorn. No, wait; bison. No no, make that bighorn. Really. Maybe. <sigh>
Oh, those lambs are cute. Great shots. Amazing that you could get that close. I've been seeing bighorns but way way up. I saw some fantastic rams with 3/4 curls the other day just a hillside away!
I have a really good camera! But every evening the bighorn ewes bring their lambs down to the river to drink and you get a great view from the road.
