Overview
Ovis dalli dalli is the nominative subspecies of thin-horn sheep — lean, agile, and white as alpine snow. Rams average 150–200 lbs but carry proportionally long, graceful horns that can reach 38–42 inches along the outer curl in record-class animals.
Identifying Features
Pure white body wool year-round; amber to golden-brown horn color; black hooves; smaller and more slender-built than bighorn
