🐃Dall sheep
Ovis dalli, también conocida como el carnero de Dall, muflón de Dll, oveja de Dall, borrego de Dall u oveja thinhorn (de cuernos delgados), es una especie de oveja salvaje nativa del noroeste de América del Norte . La especie Ovis dalli está constituida por dos subespecies; Ovis dalli dalli y Ovis dalli stonei, que vivee en zonas alpinas montañosos distribuidos en el noroeste de la Columbia Británica, el Yukón, los Territorios del Noroeste y Alaska. Se alimentan de una variedad de plantas como hierbas, juncos e incluso arbustos como el sauce, durante diferentes épocas del año. También adquieren minerales para complementar su dieta. Al igual que otras especies de Ovis, los carneros se embisten con los cuernos, para definir su dominio en el rebaño.
