Item Details
Description
Bronze 12 x 6.5 x 6 inches The Wild Horse Island Ram is the world record bighorn sheep. A ram that lived out his life on Wild Horse Island in Flathead Lake. He died of natural causes and was picked up by Fish Wildlife and Parks personnel. Being that the island is a State Park the skull belongs to the people of Montana. Not only does this ram have the largest horns ever known to exist on a bighorn sheep, but to my eye they are some of the most beautiful. To an artist it isn’t the size so much as the beauty of the curl and the balance found in this particularly pleasing set of horns. Such massive horns are the direct result of a quality habitat. The Island is unique in that is has some of the last remaining natural Palouse Prairie. A wonderful conservation success story, the island has provided over five hundred sheep to transplant into other areas as restoration efforts continue.
