## Caption

Clashing of horns 🐏

Male bighorn sheep, called rams, use their horns as weapons in mating battles. They run at each other and butt their heads, often for many hours until one submits and walks away. Their horns can weigh more than the rest of the bones in their body combined, so the sound is incredibly loud!
