 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
