Zool\u00f3gico de Chapultepec<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between 1950 and 1960, the zoo had the sole purpose of being a place of recreation that exhibited several popular animal species. Ernesto P. Uruchurtu, mayor of the city during that decade, gave new impetus to the zoo, new species were acquired and the entire collection was renovated. Some of the animals that were acquired back then are still in the collection more than half a century later.<\/p>\n

Bighorn Sheep<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species of sheep in North America named for its large horns. These horns weighed up to 14 kg, while the sheep themselves weighed up to 140 kg. Recent genetic testing indicates three distinct subspecies of Ovis canadensis, one of which is endangered: O. c. sierrae. Sheep originally crossed to North America over the Bering land bridge from Siberia: the population in North America peaked in the millions, and the bighorn sheep entered into the mythology of Native Americans. By 1900, the population had crashed to several thousand, due to diseases introduced through European livestock and overhunting. Conservation efforts (in part by the Boy Scouts) have restored the population.<\/p>\n
