"A century ago, bighorn sheep, which once flourished on Nebraska’s high plains,
had been wiped out there by overhunting, human encroachment, and disease. Yet
over the last 40 years, scientists have reintroduced the sheep to western
Nebraska’s Wildcat Hills and Pine Ridge region, an effort that has led to a
population of 320 bighorn in the state today.
Using stunning footage, including from camera traps and drones, filmmaker
Mariah Lundgren takes viewers inside the effort to ensure that the state’s
bighorn sheep population continues to thrive among the buttes and rugged hills.
She follows scientists as they place radio collars on the sheep, monitor
newborn lambs, sample the animals for disease — pneumonia is the biggest killer
— and observe their behavior with camera traps that capture striking images of
these extraordinary animals."
