Bighorn Sheep near Banff

This ram was with a small herd of sheep north of Banff on Highway 1A. Look closely, he seems to be sticking his tongue out at me. Actually they were licking run-off on the highway for salt and he continued to lick his tongue as he walked by and eyed me.

You can tell the age of rams by looking at their horns and counting the ring transitions. If I am counting right this fellow must be four years old. But then again, I'm no sheep expert.
