Description: The European mouflon (Ovis ammon musimon, Ovis musimon) is the smallest and westernmost of the wild sheep and is thought to be one of the ancestors of the domestic sheep (along with the Asiatic mouflon). The European mouflon once lived in most of the mountain ranges of Europe, but hunting and agriculture have markedly reduced mouflon numbers. Remnant herds still exist on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, and the mouflon has been reintroduced to areas of its former range.

Mouflon prefer to live in lightly wooded areas located on the middle slopes of mountains. They are most active in the morning and late afternoon.
