Mouflon and being black on the shoulders. In Corsica this animal is named Mufro. Pallas, grouping goats and sheep together into a single genus "Aegoceros", distinguished the mouflon from the argali at species level in 1811 ("Ae. musimon" and "Ae. argali" respectively). In 1840 Blyth proposed that the Armenian and Cypriot sheep were also separate species, which he named "Ovis Gmelinii" (after "the younger Gmelin") and "O. Ophion" (from a name recorded by Pliny). Current taxonomy in some sources such as MSW and ITIS treats the mouflons and urials as subspecies of the domestic sheep, "Ovis aries" Linn. 1758. However ICZN
Wild horse taxonomists considered domesticated and wild horse two subspecies of the same species, the valid scientific name was "Equus caballus" Linnaeus 1758, with the subspecies labeled "E. c. caballus" (domesticated horse), "E. c. ferus" Boddaert, 1785 (tarpan) and "E. c. przewalskii" Poliakov, 1881 (Przewalski's horse). However, in 2003, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature decided that the scientific names of the wild species have priority over the scientific names of domesticated species, therefore mandating the use of "Equus ferus" for the horse, independent of the position of the domesticated horse. Przewalski's horse occupied the eastern Eurasian Steppes, perhaps from the Urals
