In Real Life
The Dall sheep is a species of sheep native to North America. They live in the rugged alpine regions of Alaska, Yukon and British Columbia. They prefer to live in a combination of ridges, meadows and steep slopes with rugged ground. This allows them to escape from predators that aren't as quick in this type of terrain. Their diet consists of any available vegetation and in the spring they often travel miles to mineral licks to lick nutrients from the soil.
Dall sheep are primarily white with some grey or brown spots. Both sexes have horns; the males are long and thick curling horns while the females are short and only slightly curved. Males live in bands and only associate with females during the mating season in early winter. Males fight over and defend females against other males with their strong horns. Older males have larger horns so they have an advantage against younger sheep. Lambs are weaned by 5 months of age. Females are sexually mature by 3 years old while males already by 18 months of age.
Dall sheep can be seen in Denali National Park and Preserve, which was specifically created to preserve Dall sheep from over-hunting, and several other parks. Predators of the sheep include wolves, coyotes and bears. The young specifically are also threatened by golden eagles. However, they can use their strength and home as a dangerous weapon and are known to push wolves down the cliffs, though that also happens in fights during mating season.
Trivia
- Dall Sheep is the first Friend whose design appeared for the first time ever in Kemono Friends Pavilion. (Scarlet Macaw's design appeared on merchandise before debuting 'officially' in Pavilion.)
