Dall sheep are white mountain dwellers native to the rugged peaks of Alaska and northwestern Canada. Their bright coats blend perfectly with snow-covered cliffs, offering camouflage from predators like wolves and eagles. Agile and sure-footed, they navigate steep, rocky terrain with ease, often scaling near-vertical slopes to escape danger. This one was photographed just outside of Anchorage a few years back. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 350mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/200th of a second.

That is a great shot, Sean! You must have been relatively close considering the 350mm length of your 200-400mm lens. Congrats on this one!
Yes, I spotted a few of them along the side of the highway.
