I'm searching for a Big Horn Sheep, the kind in the Anza Borrego Desert and Southwest California regions. I'm brand new to Poser and just bought Poser 6 a couple weeks back. I am not sure where to go to find such a thing and I have sort of checked out the Store area here, but couldn't seem to find a way to do a search for Poser animals? If anyone can please point me to where I might be able to find some decent animals and preferably the one listed here, I'd sure appreciate it? I also am looking for wild donkeys too. I've already just bought the new Red Tail Hawk from the Content Paradise site, so that's a good start :) Thanx for any and all help..........md :) .

I liked when I went to that first site, because I realized they also had all the other desert animals I would need too.
Like Jack Rabbits and little Chipmonks and Kit Foxes and Coyotes and even regular domesticated Goats, which run wild at the high desert regions and can run straight up a rock wall cliff, like it has stairs on it or something! I know, because I've seen them do it right in fron of me before LOL

And the Donkeys that are wild you can see them (mostly at night) milling around and sometimes right next to the highways rolling on the freshly grated sand on the shoulder of the road LOL

The Big Horn sheep are almost extinct, I thyink there are only about 200 to 300 left in the wild, and you never see them, but after something like 15 to 20 years of going to the desert my frineds and me finally seen a small heard of them in on the other side of a canyon.
We've seen them maybe three times in the past 35 years!
It's a treat, I can tell you that :)

Anyway, thanx again all :)
I am very pleased with what I am seeing here.

I also am learing that I may be able to actually create some of my own animals from morhing the current stock animals into new ones.
if I'd known I could do that before, I probably would of not even thought to search out any, but this saves me some time for shots that are farther away.
Otherwise, I can just mondel my own and use the preset riggings that are already in the animals that come with Poser.

Thanx again, I totally appreciate the help :)

My very first Poser to Vue scene I made right after I bought Poser a couple of weeks back, was this one, in case any of you care to look?
It's posted up here at this site somewhere under the Vue Gallery Landscape section, but here's a direct link to it. You can see the link at the top of this reply.

Anyway, thanx a zillion!

...........md :)

A few years back, while hiking I came up within about 6 feet of the San Gabriel herd of Big Horns as I turned a curve on the trail. Later, I get to see males competing, head ramming and everything, an amazing site. It was at Allison Gulch (East Fork area of the San Gabriel River).

Though I've taken it off my current free downloads list, I have an alternative, more realistic Bighorn Sheep texture map for Deb Ross's model sold through Vista. I'll be happy to provide it to you if you'd like it.

For Anza-Borego and SW Birds... My SBRM 'Cool and Unusual' has a fairly good Greater Roadrunner it in and hopefully released in June will be my SBRM2 with male and female California Quails.

KenG, I know you're not offering this to me but I would really like to have a better texture for the big horn sheep if you could put it on your website again. ;o)

Yikes!... I got taken up on my offer...  ;-)

Reviewing the file, it's still better than the map that came with and wasn't too much of  an embarassment.

I can do much better now, but it would require a full remapping of the model and time I don't currently have.  Perhaps after I wrap my current bird projects I'll revisit the model or maybe create a new, improved one.

That's the reason you've got taken up on your offer. loll

Thank you very much!
