Mouflon vignei" (or "orientalis") "arkal" and "O. v./o. bochariensis", grouped with two different clades of argali ("Ovis ammon"). The ancestral sheep is presumed to have had 60 chromosomes, as in goats ("Capra"). Mouflon and domestic sheep have 54 chromosomes, with three pairs (1+3, 2+8, 5+11) of ancestral acrocentric chromosomes joined to form bi-armed chromosomes. This is in contrast to the argali and urial, which have 56 and 58 chromosomes respectively. If the urial is as closely related to the mouflons as mitochondrial DNA indicates, then two chromosomes would need to have split during its evolution away from the mouflon (sub)species. In
Domesticated red fox and he made it genetically domesticated." Russian domesticated foxes exhibit a variety of coat color mutations, including red, silver (black), platinum, cross, and Georgian white, the lattermost being a color exclusive to the Russian breeding project. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of fox breeding in the late Iron Age on Orkney Island off the north coast of Scotland. After the attack of the Vikings in Scotland around 800, the breeding is said to have stopped. Domesticated red fox The Russian domesticated red fox is a form of the wild red fox ("Vulpes vulpes") which has been domesticated to an extent, under
