Description
Two bighorn sheep seem to be mugging for the camera. the farthest one has his tongue out but the nearer one is exhibiting what is called the Flehman response, lifting its top lip above the upper gum (bighorn sheep don't have upper teeth) to expose its jacobson's gland, an olefactory organ used during the rut to sniff out ewes coming into heat.
