The Mouflon (pron. MOO-flawn) is a wild sheep native to the Middle East region. Specifically Cyprus, the Caspian region (eastern Turkey), Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. It is thought to be the ancestor of all modern domestic sheep breeds. There are five (5) recognized subspecies: the Armenian Mouflon, Esfahan mouflon, Laristan mouflon, Cyprus mouflon, and European Mouflon.
They have reddish brown, short coats with dark stripes down the back, and black chest patches. The bellies are generally lighter colored than the top. As with most sheep species, the males are horned where the females can either be horned or polled (dehorned through selective breeding). The horns of males are typically curved one full revolution of around 85 cm. Male and female Mouflon are the same height of around 0.9 meters (about 2.9 ft.), where the males weigh in around 50 kg (about 110 lbs.) and the females around 35 kg (about 77 lbs.).
Trivia
- A mouflon was cloned successfully in early 2001 and lived at least seven months, making it the first clone of an endangered mammal to survive beyond infancy.
- It was possibly introduced to Cyprus during the Neolithic period (around 10-12,000 years ago).
