Born sheep in Texas have become a rareness, but a group of wildlife biologists is on a mission to save the species.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Froylan Hernandez said that about 50% of the state’s sheep lamb had been abolished due to illness in the last five years. The Hernandez Department’s desert is the leader of the program for the Bighorne sheep program.
The disease spread from other animals to Born sheep, which people brought to the region. Bighoryn sheep Western mountains And once the original Americans were revered.
Final decline, wildlife biologist planned a rescue. He captured dozens of Byrne sheep, some pregnant, only survived from the Disease -free Texas herd.
The biologist sensed the sheep to the veterinarians to ensure that the sheep moved to a separate mountain range over 200 miles, which was free from the disease-descending species.
The biologists returned to the flock this month in the Franklin Mountains of West Texas this month as to whether the sheep survived, and maybe if the herds increased. They found a line of nine sheep, which included lambs who were only days old.
The Texas flock is growing again, and the biologist hopes that it will not head with humans or disease.
“I am very, very happy, very, very satisfied,” said Hernandez. “This is monumental.”
