Mature: 2 years
Mating season: November through December
Number of young: one or two
Life span: 10 to 15 years
Diet: grasses and forbs
Facts:
Head-to-head combat known to last up to 24 hours between two rams.
Male horns can weigh up to 30 pounds. They stop growing during rut, which allows biologists to age sheep.
Bony core of the horn is honeycombed with air chambers to reduce weight.
Desert bighorn requires little or no water in the winter and during the hotter summer months drinks about every three days.
