Mouflon

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted January 31, 2016473 views3 comments

Muflons have been introduced to Europe a bout 7000 years ago from Asia. Today there are about 700 living in the wild in the isalnds of Corsica, Sardinia, Rhodes and Cyprus. In continental Europe they are mainly found in wild parks like this one in the "Rheinböllen Hochwildschutz Park" close to my home.

What I like about this image is that the setup is quite that what they like, rocky mountain areas.

Beautiful animal, and it's good that the facility attempted to place it in a natural-looking habitat.
