Aoudad (Barbary sheep)

The Aoudad, also known as Barbary sheep, is an elusive wild goat native to North Africa's mountainous regions. Recognizable by its large, curved horns and sandy-colored coat, it is well-adapted to rugged terrain and arid environments. Social and agile, Aoudads live in herds and are skilled climbers, helping them escape predators and find food. They are considered both a symbol of their native habitats and a species of interest for wildlife enthusiasts and conservation efforts, as they thrive in diverse desert and mountain landscapes.
