Bighorn Sheep with a Priceless Expression

A bighorn sheep is caught with an unusual expression on its face as it’s eating in the National Elk Refuge.

In all honesty, it was just eating some grass. But the look on this bighorn sheep’s face once it was on the computer just cracked me up! It’s amazing how a camera can capture a moment in time that would have never even been apparent otherwise. Bighorn sheep call Miller Butte in the National Elk Refuge home for much of the year. Every now and then they’ll make their way down near the road, also the only part of the refuge people are allowed on.

I love these types of shots – I was very lucky to come across a herd of Big Horns recently and was able to get some amazing shots of them, including a couple of very amusing facial expressions, almost as if they were commenting on us crazy humans gawking at them

Thanks again! I sometimes wonder if animals are actually just constantly laughing at the herds of people staring at them.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
