American Bighorn

Revered by North Americans for its tenacious nature, this powerful sheep stands three feet, three inches at that shoulder and can weigh over three hundred pounds. The most noticeable feature, of course, is its horns, which both sexes possess. The horns are used by males against one another, in battles lasting hours, in order to gain higher rank in the herd and the right to mate with the ewes. Males with the largest horns are considered to be of the highest rank. Once they have attained sexual maturity, females give birth to one to two young.
