2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Big Horn Sheep , Hemenway Park, United States of America
Ram Assembly

Species: Big Horn Sheep | Location: Hemenway Park, United States of America

The Lake Mountain Herd of wild Big Horn Sheep at times frequent Hemenway Park in Boulder City, Nevada, where they stop to graze and rest. On this day, senior rams assembled into a particular formation like two generals facing off, complete with their wingmen and witnesses. A brief touching of the jaws and the formation broke with a small chase, followed by a formation of 3 rams, with the 4th ram bowing submissively to the Leader.
