5 Interesting Facts About Rams!

  • A ram's horns can weigh up to 14kg - more than all the bones in the rest of its body combined. They grow continuously throughout the animal's life and are used both for display and for fighting.
  • Rams compete for females by charging each other head-on at speeds of up to 65km/h - the collision force is enormous, but their skulls are specially designed with a thick double layer of bone and air pockets to absorb the impact.
  • The bighorn sheep ram of North America can smell a female from up to 3km away during breeding season - their sense of smell is extraordinarily developed and plays a central role in reproduction.
  • Ram horns curl in a specific pattern that takes years to complete - young rams have shorter, straighter horns that gradually curl into the full broomed shape as they age.
  • The word 'ram' appears in the name Aries, the first sign of the zodiac - the Ram has been associated with spring, new beginnings and bold action in cultures from ancient Mesopotamia to modern astrology.
