Distribution is the biggest difference. You'll find Dall sheep from northern BC and Alberta thru the Yukon into Alaska, and bighorn further south from northern Mexico up to southern BC and Alberta. Dalls further north are primarily white. further south in northern BC and Alberta they can be white or darker in color like a bighorn, the darker ones are called stone dalls or just stone sheep. Bighorns on the other hand are mostly brown with a white rump. You'll hear about horns and snouts having differences, and if you have them together at a zoo or w/e I'm sure there are those differences, but in the wild where Dalls and Bighorns occupy completely different regions the big difference is where you are seeing them... dalls are north and bighorns are south.
