EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Tom and Pat Leeson, witness the thrilling pursuit of love in the snowy Rocky Mountains. The majestic Bighorn Sheep rams are on a mission to win over their potential mate during December's frosty embrace. With dominance and determination written all over their magnificent horns, these woolly Casanovas chase after an unsuspecting ewe they believe is ready to enter estrus. Their breeding behavior takes center stage as they sprint through the winter wonderland, leaving behind a trail of excitement and anticipation. The action-packed scene showcases nature's raw beauty and highlights the unique mating rituals of these incredible mammals. As groups of sheep gather around, cheering on their fellow ram contenders, it becomes clear that love knows no bounds even amidst freezing temperatures. This snapshot captures not only the intensity of this chase but also emphasizes the importance of preserving habitats like these in America's rocky mountains. With hooves pounding against powdery snow, these adult rams showcase their strength while reminding us of our responsibility to protect wildlife and its natural environment. So hang up this stunning print proudly as a reminder that romance can blossom anywhere – even in sub-zero temperatures!
