Bighorn sheep in the Santa Catalina Mountains as seen last week during an aerial survey by @azgfdTucson. Thirty GPS collared and uncollared sheep were observed, resulting in a population estimate of 60+ in the range.

@senyorreporter No, that’s a stock image on a routinely posted sign.

@senyorreporter Mother Nature’s.

@TNNColaianni Gallows humor. A bear that attacks once is likely to attack again. The victim is lucky the bear was not a mature male, or he would be dead or maimed for life.

AZGFD suspends search for bear that attacked man Sunday so. of Patagonia. Victim treated & released. Area residents, call 623-236-7201 ASAP if brown colored bear w/blonde streaks seen, loudly scare off; secure garbage & other outdoor food sources for now.
