Doesn't have any indicators on Google Earth. Maybe in the mountains in the northeast?

Not in Baja (is my guess from looking at the background and horns).

The animal appears to be an Ibex. The rock appears to be limestone. I think the pic is from europe.

I think mtgoat nails it. It does not appear to be the granite of the Sierra de Juárez. Looks like limestone to me. The background does not fit either.
Agreed it looks like somewhere in Europe. Lots of limestone mountains over there. Wrong animal for this continent.

That would be a sheep Russ! Not that it matters, one horney critter is as good as another.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

The horns...
A little blurry as these are zoom-in close ups, taken in May 2007 near Mission Santa María (west of Gonzaga Bay).
The normal photo of these guys, who walked right past our camp, on the ledge overlooking us.

It was an exciting moment, for sure... We were camping with Roy (The squarecircle) and Blanche. Elizabeth spotted them silently walking that ledge
above our camp... "Oh my God" and we turned around and Roy and I quickly grabbed our cameras... and for several minutes enjoyed watching the dozen or
so borregos head to the pond for a drink that morning. Baja is fantastic!
