Wild sheep are members of the genus Ovis, which includes several species found in various regions around the world. They typically inhabit mountainous and rugged terrains, where they use their strong legs and hooves to navigate steep slopes. Wild sheep are known for their impressive horns, which can be quite large in males, and they often live in herds for protection against predators. These animals are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. Wild sheep play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain plant diversity and serving as prey for larger predators, such as mountain lions and wolves.
