Description

Notice huge scar anterior to the right eye. He cannot see straight ahead with the right eye. Note lateral views the eye is intact and appears functional and visibly moves as his gaze changes. This large old Ram gently an very slowly approached me closely as if to be petted. I moved away and he followed to approach close and I finally stood up on a large rock. He then slowly walked away. I may have photographed this Ram before and will search my data base.

This other Ram https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/58650507 is missing his left horn.
