The Barbary Sheep, also known as Ammotragus lervia, is a species of wild sheep native to North Africa. They are characterized by their distinctive curved horns, which can grow up to 3 feet long in males. These animals typically inhabit rocky, mountainous regions and are well-adapted to arid environments, allowing them to thrive in harsh conditions. Barbary Sheep are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. They are social animals, often found in small groups, and are known for their agility and ability to navigate steep terrains. Due to habitat loss and hunting, their populations have declined, leading to conservation efforts in some areas.
