Bighorn 3
In a dazed state they
will stand head to head for a half a minute until they retreat and repeat the battle. Battles can last
several hours to a day. Ewes, on the other hand, are promiscuous and will readily mate with any ram.
Therefore it is difficult to theorize why the rams battle so fiercely as there is no competition for a
harem. Mouflon are found in Sardinia and Corsica and are believed to have given rise to domestic
sheep. Back to Bighorn.
