You can see just how much bighorn lambs blend in with their surroundings in Badlands National Park. Bad for any would-be predators. Very good for the lambs. These two were having a good old time chasing each other up and down the sides of these eroded buttes, the dominant landscape feature in the park. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/320th of a second.

Love the babies!
I love them too!
This happened to me when I hit my late 30s too. My one magnificent butte really started to erode.
Mine are completely gone at this point.
What a lovely surprise to find these two in such a monochromatic place. I suspect Mom was not too far away, also blending in.
Yes, and yes, Mom was just out of frame. And equally monochromatic.
What an amazing capture, Sean!
Aren’t they darling!
