Just a quick point (ha ha ha) - I've probably said it before - Impala ('larger
ones with more elaborate horns') have been known to kill one another in fights
too. Have I ever mentioned the photos where a male impala kills another, and
then pushes the dead body off a cliff? Probably...

Here's a little test for you all: Why are bighorn sheep called bighorn sheep?
This is not a joke!
