Seems like there were quite a few animals out and about Sury, I like the horns on the sheep and the antlers on the Moose, not bad shots considering the large distances involved.

Hi Sury, : )

These are neat creatures. I have to agree with Greg that the antlers of the moose is very elegant and magestic. He's one lucky moose that he did not lose part of them during a fight.
Is that a Grizzly bear? The colour of the fur puzzeled me. Looks like a semi-polar bear shedding some winter fur.... but I could be wrong. : )

Lovely sheep. And good photos from that distance for sure. Well done, Sury.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Emmm, Sury, that's not a moose, that's a caribou (reindeer).
