Young Ram Lip Curl

Young Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) ram does a lip curl. Sheep have an upper lip that is divided by a groove called a “phitrum.” This guy was not the biggest male in the meadow - by far - but he certainly was feisty. Sheep curl back their upper lip, and inhale deeply, to run the air carrying pheromones over an organ at the roof of the mouth. This is done to gather information about the scents the other sheep are giving off.
