BIGHORN SHEEP SKULL

BUY BIGHORN SHEEP SKULL ONLINE

The bighorn sheep is characterized by the large heavy horns that the male possesses for sparring. This territorial fighting usually consists of a series of running head-butts that can last for hours. Although their skull is designed to withstand it, these impacts occur with such force that they can sometimes be fatal to the combatants. Females have reduced horns and rarely spar. Bighorns are gregarious herbivores and may be preyed upon by mountain lions, wolves and humans.
