First there was the land, and then the animals that followed the land, and then man followed the animal paths, and then we built roads where the paths were and then we started smashing the he__ out of the animals which were following the paths that their ancestors created. I applaud the highway dept. for building that bridge and wish we'd build more of them. The deer slaughter and resulting injuries and damage in Ohio is out of hand. 
Neat pic.
S....from my experience in the Canadian Park System, they have a really different attitude. I also applaud their efforts to preserve both the animals and their natural travel patterns. They do the same kind of thing with the Grizzly bears up there....the last time I was up in the Lake Louise (Valley of the Ten Peaks) area, I wanted to take some friends on a hike I'd done before because it is one of the more awesome sights I've ever seen in my life, but there was a 2 year old bear who had been false charging from time to time. Instead of shooting the bear...they close the trail indefinitely, until the bear either moves on, or becomes less threatened by human contact, and food sources become more available. When you're in the park system up there, and you choose to go in the backcountry, you ain't the top of the food chain any more...
I wonder if the sheep use that bridge too? I saw a lot of them, especially the females, down in the lower elevations. Seems the males stayed up in the passes.
