There is an animal in nature that will determine the status of the female by dueling, so what species are they?

The amazing animal we're talking about today is the Bighorn Sheep.

Canadian sheep, also known as bighorn sheep, live in the remote North American continent, and have a pair of huge horns on either side of their heads, looking very powerful and dominant.

Bighorn sheep are herd animals, preferring to live in dry mountainous, and hilly areas and are very agile, with excellent eyesight, and are very good at climbing steep rocks and weaving in and out of the messy rocks.

The bighorn sheep are in heat from November to December each year. But as early as September, the male bighorn sheep will be on the move, driving out competitive rivals. And by the end of October, the time when the flock is breeding, the leader of the dominant flock will drive some ewes to a protected area where there are no other males to keep for himself.

Before the breeding period begins, the rams in the bighorn sheep's flock will have a pre-season.

During this process, they will show their horns and make some physical contact.

If the two bighorn rams have similar-sized horns, then they will start by kicking each other with their feet.

Usually, the one who kicks first tends to be the ram with a higher status. After he has demonstrated his ability, the challenger who knows he is no match for him will retreat to the side.

Of course, if the other side is also very strong, then it will need to fight to decide.

When the bighorn sheep are breeding, they will fight whenever two sheep meet, regardless of their male and female counterparts.

Male bighorn sheep can weigh up to 280 pounds, while female bighorn sheep can only grow up to 160 pounds, in such a case, their strength gap is relatively large.

But some of the smaller male bighorn sheep are not even as big as the female bighorn sheep, and this time the strength disparity will come out, and then there will be a scene where the female beats the male.

As long as the female bighorn sheep win, they will immediately climb on the defeated male bighorn sheep, producing a phenomenon that we cannot understand.

This is just a form of punishment in the bighorn sheep population, somewhat similar to a willingness to fight and submit to defeat, that is, the losing party must bow down. It seems that the winner is the king of such a reason to work everywhere.

Similarly, when two rams meet, the one who loses the fight has to bow down and let the winning one climb on his back to prove his status.
