WATCH: Magpie Lands On Wyoming Bighorn Sheep & Eats Ticks
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department's outdoor cameras have never failed to provide an intimate view into the Cowboy State's wildlife.
And they delivered again with footage of a magpie landing on a bighorn ram's back in the Laramie Peak Wildlife Habitat Management Area in southeastern Wyoming.
According to game and fish, the relationship between magpies and bighorn sheep is a match made in nature:
In the video, shared last week, the magpie is seen coming into view before making a graceful landing on the ram's back. For more than a minute, the bird perches on the sheep and eats ticks off its back.
Game and fish shared the video last week. You can watch it below:
