Bighorn sheep eat grass.
They get their water from mountain pools or by eating snow. They feed in early morning, at midday, and in the evening. In the summer, bighorn sheep go to the high mountain slopes. In the winter, they return to the foothills at the bottom of the mountains. Bighorns are found on high, rugged mountain slopes.
