A ram is a type of male sheep.

When you hear about a ram, you might think of it as an animal that lives on a farm or a ranch. But the word "ram" has another meaning too. In engineering and construction, a ram can also refer to a device that forces air into something - like a machine or a pipe - in order to pressurize it. This type of ram is often used in big machines that move things around.
