Desert Bighorn Sheep
Desert bighorn sheep -
1st 10 seconds - a beautiful ram feeding.
10-40 seconds -- a ram does the "low-stretch" display, approaches a ewe who then urinates, and then the ram sniffs her to see if she's ready to mate. It appears that she was not, which isn't surprising since it was at the beginning of the mating season (early July, for desert bighorns).
40-47 seconds -- dominance behavior.
48 seconds to 1:04 -- beautiful ram running down the canyon bottom.
1:05 - 1:13 -- comparison of ewe with young ram, which are sometimes hard to tell apart when the ram's horns are still small. But ewes have blockier snouts and young rams have wider horn bases.
