'''''Ovis dalli''''', also known as the '''Dall sheep''' or '''thinhorn sheep''', is a species of [[wild sheep]] native to northwestern [[North America]]. ''Ovis dalli'' contains two subspecies: ''[[Ovis dalli dalli]]'' and ''[[Stone sheep|Ovis dalli stonei]]''. ''O. dalli'' live in mountainous alpine habitats distributed across northwestern British Columbia, the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska.  They browse a variety of plants, such as grasses, sedges and even shrubs, such as willow, during different times of the year. They also acquire minerals to supplement their diet from mineral licks. Like other ''Ovis'' species, the rams engage in dominance contests with their horns.
