By Jordan Schaul | National Geographic | May 20, 2012 The one ungulate from Alaska that is not represented in our collection at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) is the Dall Sheep or Dall’s sheep. As a rescue center, we only take in animals that were orphaned or in need of medical care, and to date, we have not received a request from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game to provide care for an orphaned or physically compromised Dall sheep. We do receive several requests a year from zoos inquiring about the availability of these mountain ungulates. One day we may exhibit them and or serve as a holding facility for zoo-destined animals.
