My husband got stuck behind a ram coming home from work today. (The original video is much longer; he was behind him for quite some time—keeping a respectful distance, of course.)

Apologies for the vert orientation--embiggen for detail

An center is receiving up to 120 animals a day suffering from the relentless

"The relentless sun -- it hurts"

"Mosby and her team aren’t the only ones working to protect Arizona’s vulnerable wildlife as the unwavering heat continues to torment animals and humans alike.

"To help the state’s animals survive the , the Arizona Game and Fish Department has been bringing water to the wild to help keep animals hydrated.

"The agency deploys water shipments on trucks and helicopters to man-made catchments across Arizona – some capable of holding up to 10,000 gallons of water, according to habitat planning program manager Joseph Currie.

"Currie estimates there are about 3,000 of these man-made watering holes around the state where , , and other animals now drink and cool themselves off in the extreme heat.

"When Arizona hit 110 degrees 27 days ago, water gauges showed that usage exploded, Currie said.

"The watering holes were originally created for and to increase hunting population numbers, but newer catchments grew in size over the years as the agency found that more animals needed a drink.

" and are occurring more often and becoming more intense across the nation – particularly in the West and Southwest – creating dangerous conditions and affecting water supplies for wildlife, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

"The program is currently funded by a combination of federal funds and fund-raising efforts. But 'if it keeps heating up and keeps drying out, then of course costs are going to increase,' Currie said."

Memories: “FINALLY! I saw my first "wild" bighorn sheep. It was a close encounter too. We went on a hike this afternoon on the No Thoroughfare Trail near Grand Junction, CO, and saw (among other cool things) six that passed very close to us near the 1st pool headed towards the waterfall.” ~ April 22nd, 2013.

Becky and I went on a into the San Jacinto outside of with her sister and husband and we saw this beautiful young enjoying the shrubs and the view. According to a sign on the trail, this particular species is endangered as only 330 of them are alive. We later saw a herd of 8 of them in an area on the steep slopes.

Weekend adventures with the fam. We saw a lot of wildlife this weekend, but the bighorns were our favorite (seen on the right in the beginning of the video and at the end).
