A suurisarvi Ram
Bighorn sheep (La. "suurisarvet", sing. "suurisarvi") leapt about the craggy heights of the southern-most Ered Rhívamar. They lived in small herds of one to twenty females, with a single dominant ram and two or three younger males. Their only attack was to butt an opponent with the large, brown horns that curved gracefully backward and around their thick skull. They were inoffensive and avoided hostile encounters, except during the mating season when the protetive rams might charge any passers-by. (The ewes might also prove belligerent if anyone came near to their young.)
