When I was 17 I cared for one of the three or four populations (in the entire world) of Hawaiian nene geese. They were facing extinction and maybe that's why some of them were nasty.
They've made a comeback, which is really good. I must have helped a little.
I also had to watch and report on the "jack ram," for a Mouflon sheep breeding project. The jack ram was a vasectomized ram that we let stay with the ewes. When he'd start mounting a ewe, we knew she was ready and let the Mouflon stud in.
Nasty rare geese and sheep sex. So exciting.
This was all at a place called Pohakuloa, on the Big Island, in 1960.
