Barbary sheep


Note the interloper in the picture.... The sheep was standing on a large mound, and there happened to be an ostrich passing by in the background, which leads to quite a humorous effect... Betty

The Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia) is a species of caprid (goat-antelope) native to rocky mountains in North Africa. Six subspecies have been described. Although it is rare in its native North Africa, it has been introduced to North America, southern Europe, and elsewhere. It is also known as aoudad, waddan, arui, and arruis.
