Rams are male bighorn sheep. They have long, curved horns that they use to fight for dominance.

Six-month-old ram has developed six horns on a farm in Xinjiang, China. His owner said he was normal at birth and is healthy in other respects. Experts believe it's a very rare genetic mutation.

A male ram grows large curved horns while a female sheep has smaller horns. They are often found in steep and rocky terrain, like in mountains or along cliffs.
