GUNNISON COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) rescued a female bighorn sheep that was stuck after falling through the ice on the Taylor River near Gunnison. CPW says they found the animal stuck half in and half out of the river, but had to use caution since the ice was already breaking. According to CPW, a tow strap was used to pull the animal out of the river and onto dry land. CPW kept the sheep overnight to monitor her health due to the cold and stress of the situation.
