This is one spunky bighorn sheep in Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona! The sheep gets its name from, you guessed it, its large horns. Even though they live in a herd, there is no dominance hierarchy, so they have no leader. Males (AKA rams) will compete with each other over a female, or ew, but the “winner” of the fight doesn’t have social dominance over the “loser.” They just go their separate ways. 📸: USFWS . . . . . . .
