Yesterday in Yellowstone National Park, we finally saw the bighorn ewes with lambs down close. There were two ewes and two lambs, but it looked like the one ewe had had twins because both lambs were mostly ignoring the other ewe. The lambs were probably born just a few days ago because their umbilical cords were still attached, and it was fun to watch them play on the steep hillside.
