The Rut Is On!

Do you live on a game farm? I don’t think there’s that many critters in the whole world!

Nice pics ..... question for the sheep guys .... why do rams have such disproportionately large nut sacks compared to other game of similar size... like mule deer.

Generally speaking in all mammals, the more direct competition there is between males for mates and the larger chances females will be bread by other males the larger the males of the species testes will be. Often times these females will get bread multiple times. There's a number of reasons and other adaptations but basically they have such big nuts to produce more sperm to compete against the other guys'. The more they're getting in there the higher the chances the offspring will be theirs. Natural selection.

Similarly, gorillas have a strong hierarchy with very little direct male competition for mates (although the betas will try and get some when the big man isn't watching) so they have tiny little nuts proportionate to body size - especially compared to the Rams.

So this explains why my nuts are the size of grapefruits...

They don't try to "reach the bottom" of the barrel, but instead.
Try to "blast the bottom" of the barrel
