With cinnamon coat and scimitar horns, the Cyprus mouflon ghosts through Troodos pines. At dawn it scales bare granite for thyme and acorns, vanishing at the crunch of boots. Poaching once crushed numbers; strict protection now steadies this wild sheep’s future.

Habitat: The Mouflon can be found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Iran, Turkey
