Animal of the Day!

Argali (Ovis ammon)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- China

Size (Weight/Length)- 180 kg; 2 m

Diet- Grasses; Shrubs

Cool Facts- The magnificent argali are truly adapted for sheer cliffs and vertical drop offs. While the smaller females and their kids prefer staying at lower elevations, larger males reach elevations of 5,800 meters with ease. Females gather in massive herds of up to 150 individuals while males stick it out in bachelor pads of 30. Herds mingle in the fall and winter in preparation for the mating season where males duke it out. Slamming into each other head first, a clash between fully grown males involves two sets of 20 kilogram horns hitting each other loud enough to be heard 800 meters away. Sadly, argali populations are dropping steadily from livestock ranching and trophy hunting for their massive horns.

Rating- 13/10 (Killed for being beautiful.)

Drew this last night to celebrate Super Bowl Weekend! Animal teams yeah! Bengals vs Rams!

Cincinnati’s Who Dey is, of course a Bengal Tiger, while the LA Rams’ Rampage is an Argali Ram, aka the biggest wild sheep. This was done so that Rampage doesn’t look puny compared to Who Dey!
