A male with his harem seems at peace. But even without hunters, the life of an alpha male is tense.
A challenger comes.
It takes over three years for a young male to grow the impressive adult horns which can spiral to 190 centimeters long and weigh up to 20 kilos.
The group of females attracts attention from would-be suitors. The alpha male is clearly unimpressed. The youngster will see what it means to be a top male.
But the challenger pulls his punches just testing the dominant 1 male's resolve.
The top male lords over a harem of up to 25 females while young upstarts wait on the sidelines.
This ram 2 senses the chance to mate.
Lip curling called the flehmen response allows him to taste the air for pheromones indicating a willing female.
She's out here, but which one?
He tries his sexiest moves but the girls aren't in the mood.
Finally he gets his fleeting 3 reward.
No matter, he will mate with many females during the season.
But he's not the only one who knows a good thing when he smells it. More suitors arrive.
They try to sneak 4 in while the alpha male is distracted. Pull one’s punches
