The incident occurred between the districts of Campos and Ambelikos. One mouflon rammed his opponent’s horns with a running start. The blow was so strong that the attacking mouflon made a coup. Fortunately, none of the louts were seriously injured.

Conflicts between male mouflons during the mating season, which begins in October, are common and occur mainly to establish dominance in the territory. In some cases, such fights can lead to serious injuries, and sometimes to the death of one of the participants.

This is not the first time cameras have captured such scenes. About two years ago, Hunting officers found two males in the Dead Zone, in the area of the Xeros River, who got their horns tangled during a fight, which put their lives in danger. Thanks to the prompt intervention of the security staff, wild animals were released and released without consequences for their health.
