Animal description

About the Aoudad (Ammotragus lervia)

The Aoudad (AKA “Barbary Sheep") is a caprid species found natively in North Africa but has since been introduced with success to many other parts of the world, including the United States. The Aoudad has been incorrectly called a sheep, as recent studies reveal closer relation to goat species. They are typically sandy brown in color, with a slightly darker shade running down along the ridge of its back. They can weigh in at a hefty 300 lbs while consuming various types of bush and grass for nutrition. Aoudad usually prefers dawn and dusk for eating and movement, avoiding the sun and high temperatures of mid-day.
