The mouflon (Ovis orientalis) is a species of mammal from the Bovidae family, an ancestor of the domestic sheep (Ovis aries) The European mouflon [2] is relatively small: body length up to about 120 cm, height at the shoulder up to about 80 cm and weight up to 35 – 55 kg, with females being significantly smaller. Males have large, spirally curved horns with forward-pointing tips and a total length of up to about 70 cm. Horns in females are much smaller or absent at all. The summer coat of the European mouflon is rusty brown and the winter coat is darker. The muzzle, around the eyes, the belly and the lower part of the legs are white. Males are characterized by a light spot on both sides of the body, which is called a saddle. The horns of mature adult males weigh up to 5 kg and are up to 83 cm long along the curve. In summer they live in small groups of 3-5 individuals, but in winter they gather in herds of 12-18 animals.
