The Himalayan blue sheep, also known as Bharal, is a species of wild sheep found in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas. They are well-adapted to steep, rocky terrains and are known for their striking blue-gray fur, which helps them blend into their surroundings. These animals typically inhabit altitudes between 3,000 and 5,500 meters. Himalayan blue sheep are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. They are social animals, often seen in small groups, and are known for their agility and speed, which help them evade predators such as the snow leopard. Their population is currently stable, but they face threats from habitat loss and hunting.
