Road ecology blog: Wildlife jump-out with bar for desert bighorn sheep, Arizona, USA
Road ecology blog: Wildlife jump-out or escape ramp with bar for desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), US Hwy 93, Arizona, USA.
The bar reduces the probability that bighorn sheep will jump up into the fenced road corridor while it does not decrease the probability that the bighorn sheep will jump down to the safe side of the fence.
