Did you know that when two male bighorn sheep clash horns during their mating battles, they can reach astonishing speeds of up to 40 miles per hour? These high-speed collisions generate forces that are a staggering 60 times greater than what it would take to crack a human skull.
These remarkable creatures have evolved with a thick skull featuring jagged sutures that flex and absorb the impact, effectively protecting their brains from the incredible forces generated by their head-to-head clashes. It's a testament to nature's engineering, allowing bighorn sheep to engage in these powerful duels without harming themselves.
