Description: Adopt an Audobon's bighorn sheep. Audubon's bighorn sheep was the easternmost subspecies of American bighorn sheep

Audubon's bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis auduboni), also known as the Badlands bighorn sheep, was the most easterly population of bighorn sheep. This bighorn sheep was more adapted to living in the lowlands than the other subspecies, often grazing on the open prairie and retreating to the nearby rock formations when threatened.

As the open prairie became cultivated, the Badlands bighorn became isolated on the rock formations and was eventually hunted to extinction. The last sighting was in the 1920s.
