San Diego Zoo 2003 - Rocky Mountain Goat, Dalls Sheep and Bighorn Sheep

April 2003

Rocky Mountain Goat exhibit.

They also kept a female Rocky Mountain Bighorn in this exhibit (she's the one in the middle)

These old enclosures always appeared extremely cramped to me. I haven't visited in about 6 or 7 years, are they still in use?

I think this is currently the Spotted Hyena exhibit.

... and it looks like the animal on the left is a Dall's sheep ... the three North American caprids in one enclosure! Some of these grottoes are still in use for goral, serow, and rock wallabies. At one point, they had a herd of five (?) Dall's sheep in one of these grottoes, so three animals is relatively good! Thankfully, in the renovated grottoes, they've knocked out the dividing walls to create more space.

You're right, I had forgotten this mix. Three female North American caprids in one exhibit.
