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 Bactrian camel Wild Bactrian camel The wild Bactrian camel ("Camelus ferus") is a critically endangered species of camel living in parts of northern China and southern Mongolia. It is closely related to the Bactrian camel ("Camelus bactrianus"). Both are large, double-humped even-toed ungulates native to the steppes of central Asia. Until recently, wild Bactrian camels were thought to have descended from domesticated Bactrian camels that became feral after being released into the wild. However, genetic studies have established it as a separate species which diverged from the Bactrian camel about 1.1 million years ago. Only about 1,400 camels survive. Most live on
