Ovis orientalis is the scientific name for the wild sheep species commonly known as the mouflon. This species is native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Mouflons are characterized by their curved horns, which are more prominent in males, and their thick, woolly coats that help them adapt to various climates. Mouflons are herbivorous animals, primarily grazing on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. They are social creatures, often found in small groups, and are known for their agility and ability to navigate rugged terrains. The domesticated descendants of mouflons are the domestic sheep, which belong to the same genus, Ovis.
