Sexual segregation in desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis mexicana)

Behaviour, 2003
One or several factors could explain sexual segregation, in which males and females of polygynous, sexually dimorphic species form separate herds during most of the year. Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) are polygynous ungulates that exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism and segregate into ram and ewe herds outside of the rutting season.

38 ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP (OVIS CANADENSIS CANADENSIS) EMBRYOS PRODUCED USING SOMATIC CELL NUCLEAR TRANSFER

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2013
The present objective was to determine if interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) could be a viable option for producing cloned Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (RMBS) embryos, a model for other endangered ovine species or sheep of high genetic value.

Biomechanical Analysis of Ramming Behavior in Ovis Canadensis

Horns have been hypothesized to help in absorbing shock and protecting the brain during ramming events. I general, horn is made of a a-keratin sheath covering a porous bone. The objective of the present study is to investigate the shock-absorptive role of the keratinous sheath and bony core of horns; particularly in Bighorn Sheep (Ovis Canadensis).

Occurence of Upper Canines in Mountain Sheep, Ovis canadensis

American Midland Naturalist, 1943
Discovery of upper canines or their alveoli in three specimens of mountain sheep led me to search for records of these teeth in sheep and their relatives. Most references concerning the teeth of the Bovidae (antelope, sheep, and cattle) state that upper canines are absent. Actually, exceptions to this rule have been recorded, but they are few.

On lactation and rumination in bighorn ewes ( Ovis canadensis )

Journal of Zoology, 2005
Because lactation has high energetic costs, females should vary their foraging behaviour according to reproductive status. In ungulates, however, some studies found no differences in feeding behaviour between non-reproductive (yeld) and lactating females.
