Eight sheep in a line.
These eight sheep are carved into the wall of a remote canyon in the Coso Range near Ridgecrest, CA. When traveling to and from feeding grounds and watering holes it is common for bighorn sheep sheep to walk in single file. This petroglyph appears to be a prehistoric depiction of that activity. The style used to portray these sheep; thick legs, round body shape, and parallel horns curving back indicate it was made at least 2000 years ago, and possibly much earlier.
