What animal is called a ram?

A ram is the term used to refer to an adult male sheep, especially one that is uncastrated. Rams are part of the species Ovis aries, which are domesticated ruminants raised for their wool, meat (mutton and lamb), and milk. These animals are known for their strong build and distinctive curved horns, which they often use for fighting during the mating season to establish dominance.

Rams play an important role in breeding programs for sheep farming and are also culturally symbolic in many traditions and religions across the world.
