Description

We saw this large group of Barbary Sheep, an invasive species, in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. They were only about 20 meters from the road. They were grazing and seemed acclimated to people being around photographing them. Most people kept a safe distance, as there were a few baby Barbary Sheep in the herd. It was approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit and windy.
