Fat-tailed sheep are a unique breed known for their distinctive fat deposits located in their tails. These sheep are primarily found in regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Central Asia. The fat in their tails serves as an energy reserve, helping them survive in harsh environments where food may be scarce. These sheep are often raised for their meat, milk, and wool. Breeds such as the Awassi and Karakul are popular examples of fat-tailed sheep. Their adaptability to arid climates makes them valuable livestock for pastoral communities, contributing to local economies and food security.
