Free Ranging

The life-span of red blood cells (RBCs) in captive and free-ranging desert bighorn sheep was measured with [32P]diisopropylfluorophosphate. The mean winter RBC life-span (156.6 days) was not significantly affected by season for captive animals maintained on a high nutritional plane and water, ad libitum. Free-ranging bighorn demonstrated a significant (P < 0.001) difference between mean winter (155.9 days) and summer (203.9 days) RBC survival. Dehydration of captive bighorn significantly increased RBC survival, closely approximating that found in summer free-ranging animals. Desert bighorn RBCs exhibited an aseasonal facultative response to the availability of water. RBC life-span was significantly (P < 0.05) increased from 153.5 to 197.7 days in animals experiencing extreme dehydration. The large spleen, relative to body weight, may accommodate extensive fluctuations in total RBC volume measured during dehydration and rehydration, preventing premature RBC degradation and an increased water requirement.
