Bighorn sheep captured north of Yuma last November were released into the Santa Catalina Mountains from Catalina State Park on Monday. Bighorns haven't inhabited the Catalinas since the 1990s.
As onlookers recorded the moment with everything from television cameras to cellphone cameras, the first 31 sheep were released Monday at Catalina State Park as part of the Santa Catalina Bighorn Sheep Restoration Project.
