Wild Things Matter!

DO EWE know what it FEELS like to be "ON TOP of the WORLD"?

Bighorn Sheep live life in the wild & have some very interesting habits. 



Are EWE talking about ME?



SETTLE DOWN, GUYS! EWE know FOOTBALL'S about to START!



IF EWE HAVE to KNOW, I'm meeting with the guys to watch the L.A. RAMS play!

The males, or rams, live as bachelors for most of the year, apart from the females, in small groups of Four or five. Life at the bachelor pad is good, and the rams get along quite well with one another.



I WONDER WHERE are all the GUYS Meeting?

Until mating season hits. 

Now it's Every Ram for Himself, as each sharpens his horns & prepares for war!

ARE EWE GUYS READY to BATTLE?

LET me give EWE a "HEAD'S UP"! I'm going to be NUMBER 1!



They pair off, rear up & then Charge each other at 20 miles per hour!

This contest continues for up to 25 hours until a winner emerges. 

I'd LIKE to THANK the ACADEMY for RECOGNIZING ME at this TIME!

Females primp and gawk as they prepare for their mating ritual, which will mostly consist of chasing "Mr. Dominant" away!

I can hardly wait to play hard-to-get!

The male has a strange way of flirting, and will sometimes attempt to "kick-start" the dating game by kicking the female, hoping to initiate a chase.

Remember ladies , let's stick together & chase these rams out of here!

After the mating ritual concludes, a ewe will give birth to a lamb that's able to stand after a thorough 20-30 minute licking. This licking, called "owning," both protects the lamb by drying it & also establishes a bond of ownership between mother & child.

 

I'm living proof that EWE can "take a licking & keep on ticking!"

Although Bighorn Sheep live in the wild without a Shepherd, their Creator equips and enables them to survive, even in spite of THEIR "Peculiar" HABITS!



 WE MAY BE WILD, but WE know we're LOVED!!

Wherever you choose to graze today, rest assured that Ewe-r Creator has given you everything you need to survive and thrive. 

Happy Trails!

"Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee."
