In Wild Canada, we said goodbye to a beloved old friend: ‘Callie,’ our senior female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Our Animal Care, Health & Welfare team made the compassionate decision to euthanize her due to age-related degenerative changes that were affecting her quality of life.
Callie was born in 2006 and joined us in 2007. At 18 years old, she was the eldest in our herd, far surpassing the median life expectancy for her species.
Her legacy lives on through her offspring, including current herd members ‘Cheyenne’ and ‘Bill Williams,’ contributing to the preservation of this iconic Canadian species. Callie will be missed by her care team and the herd – Cheyenne, Bill Williams, ‘June’, ‘Cash’, ‘Amelia’, and ‘Camille’.
