What kind of sheep antics have you observed that made you chuckle or just say…whoaaa… Since I live in Alaska I hunt and love to watch Dall Sheep, for you it may be one of the others. This was a funny one. A video would have been cool.
I had the spotter on some sheep a mile or two away and ended up watching a couple little banana rams playing with each other like they do. Then one of them went over and poked his nose on a caribou shed that was laying there. It was laying such that it was curved upward with both ends sticking up and it moved a little. Then he kind of gingerly poked it with his foot and it moved some more, like a teeter-totter. Next thing I know his boink-boinkin the antler, jumping back, boinkin it again and again as it's doing it's teeter-totter thing. The other one jumped back out of the way. It was pretty funny. It reminded me of a puppy playing. I've seen sheep interacting with each other lots cuz thats what they do but this was the first time I saw one interacting/playing with an object. Pretty funny.
