Wild Sheep (Mouflon): Masters of the Mountain in Zoos

Mouflons, or wild sheep, are housed in rocky, hilly enclosures that allow them to showcase their natural climbing abilities. These habitats include grassy patches and shaded areas for grazing and resting. Their diet consists of fresh grass, hay, and mineral-rich supplements to support their hardy physiology.

Enrichment includes logs and elevated platforms to keep them active and engaged. Zoos often include mouflons in conservation efforts, showcasing their importance as ancestors of modern domestic sheep. Visitors learn about their unique adaptations to life in rugged terrain.
