Desert bighorn rams Roberto Felipe arrive at Albuquerque Zoo
Desert bighorn rams Roberto and Felipe, owned by the Department of Game and Fish, arrive at the Albuquerque Zoo. Assistant chief George Merrill says the zoo is a good home and the public can enjoy viewing them. The rams, once at Red Rock Experimental Wildlife Station, helped reproduce sheep for future release in the wild, likely in the Big Hatchet Mountains. They are on loan indefinitely and cannot be released due to loss of fear of humans.
