Wild sheep are members of the genus Ovis, which includes several species found in various regions around the world. They are known for their impressive curved horns, particularly in males, and their thick woolly coats that help them survive in harsh environments. Wild sheep typically inhabit mountainous and rugged terrains, where they are well-adapted to navigate steep slopes. These animals are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. Wild sheep play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain plant diversity and serving as prey for larger predators. Conservation efforts are important for protecting their habitats and ensuring their populations remain stable.
