Urial

The urial (Ovis vignei), also known as the arkars or shapo, is a wild sheep. Noticeable features are the reddish-brown long fur that fades during winter; males are characterized by a black ruff stretching from the neck to the chest and large horns. It is found in western central Asia. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the mouflon (O. orientalis). The two groups are often considered separate species.
