Field Notes

Description:

best noted for their violent head-butting ritual, female bighorn sheep lack the extensive horns. like all true horns, these do not fall off like antlers.

Notes:

Radium is a hostspot for theses large mammals. a visit to this town will guarantee you a sighting. believe it or not, these enormous cliffs are within the city, near a popular hotspring.

They are dangerous to ascend the hill nearby them. They push little stones towards us that become bullets while reach to us. This is their natural protecting behavior.
