The cheers go up from the crowd, gamblers exchange cash, the music is loud, and all attention is on the Rams fighting in sandy arena. "I love how Rams fight, so I have come to watch!" says one Lagos spectator. The Lagos stadium is full with Rams and their owners (or trainers!), each vying for prizes such as a washing machine, music stereos, fans, or even an okada. "My Ram is very strong," says Kassim, owner of the Ram called "Gentle". "In his first fight he won me N100,000." Two Rams are put into the arena and they faceoff - their two heads head-butting each other in this crazy sport, one of the most popular animal spectator sports in Nigeria. To win, the Ram must scare its opponent away. The loser is the Ram that runs - a scene often accompanied with cheers or jeers from the Nigerian audience. But: if there is any injury or blood between the Rams, then the fight is stopped. This head-banging style of fighting is what Rams do in the wild. Rams are organised into different categories, organised by weight. And good trainers will take their Rams out for exercise every week - often long walks - to keep up their endurance ready for the crazy sport. Other traditional sports in Nigeria include: Dambe boxing, Canary Singing and Wrestling.
