Mouflon

The Mouflon (Ovis musimon), one of the Caprinae or "goat antelopes," is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern sheep breeds. It is red-brown with a dark back-stripe, light colored saddle patch and underparts. The males are horned and the females are horned or polled. It is now rare but has been successfully introduced into central Europe, including Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania, even in some northern European countries, such as Finland

Other names: Muflone (Italian), Corsican Mouflon, European Mouflon, Musimon, Musmon, Sardinian Mouflon
