Mountain hikers spot rare herd of animals outside Los Angeles
A group of hikers in the San Gabriel Mountains recently encountered a rare sighting: a large family of bighorn sheep. As seen in images posted by the Instagram account @lahikes on May 29, hikers discovered the herd of shy and elusive creatures nestled in the forest north of Los Angeles. Environmentalists said that to find so many bighorn sheep at one time is very rare, and the social media post explained the sighting as 'a difficult phenomenon to capture.' 'As we sat there for over half an hour watching these animals do their thing on the cliffs opposite of ours, it was a treat to capture,' read the post's caption. 'They usually stick together for protection,' explained the post's slideshow. 'Males are seen with the large curved horns and overlook the tribe.' The images showed and explained how the bighorn sheep family was grazing by clinging to the precipitous mountainside with their hooves. According to the National Wildlife Federation, the animal's outer hooves are 'modified toenails shaped to snag any slight protrusion, while a soft inner pad provides a grip that conforms to each variable surface.' The federation's website adds, 'Although not as agile as mountain goats, bighorn sheep are well-equipped for climbing the steep terrain that keeps their predators at bay.' This species of sheep typically lives in rugged, mountainous terrain in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and, apparently, in L.A.'s backyard as well.

DC faces lawsuit for inadequate pedestrian signals for the blind
WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — For most people, crossing the street in the District means looking out for turning cars or bikes. But for the visually impared, alerts and vibrations at the crosswalk are lifesaving. It's a warning when it's safe to step off the sidewalk. There's now a new class-action lawsuit accusing the District of failing to do enough to keep everyone safe. When you press the button as a crosswalk and hear a voice say 'wait,' or 'walk sign is on to cross M Street,' that's an accessible pedestrian signal (APS). They help blind people like Qudsiya Naqui get around safely. 'A lot of the times, the APS are placed in the wrong place, or they're not working at all, or they're not there at all. And sometimes they're too quiet, so I can't hear them,' Naqui said. Dupont Circle park to be closed this weekend during WorldPride That's why she and four others are suing D.C. There are visual pedestrian signals at more than 1,600 intersections, but Naqui says only a fraction have accessible pedestrian signals. 'We're trained to listen for parallel traffic and to listen to traffic patterns. That's kind of how we get around,' Naqui said. 'But in D.C., that can be extra challenging because of the complexities of the streets.' At the intersection of 14th Street and New York Avenue NW, most of the buttons are covered, and the one that isn't doesn't work. 'Some of our plaintiffs have had really scary close calls where they've started to cross the street and somebody has had to pull them back,' said attorney Kaitlin Banner. 'We even have one of our clients whose cane was hit by a car when she was trying to cross the street where there was no accessible pedestrian signals.' Naqui said she'll often choose a route that's all perpendicular streets. It's easier to navigate but costs her a 'time tax.' 'Sometimes those routes avoiding the diagonal streets, avoiding the circles can take me up to double as long to walk,' Naqui said. It's not just inconvenient, but Banner said it violates federal and local law. 'We hope that with this lawsuit, we can work together with the district to make sure that we have safe intersections for people who live here, people who travel here, people who visit here,' Banner said. This lawsuit follows similar successful lawsuits in New York City and Chicago. Both cities were found to be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and ordered to install thousands of new accessible pedestrian signals. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
