Ovis dalli Nelson, 1884

Бара́н Да́лла, или тонкоро́гий бара́н (лат. Ovis dalli) — вид из семейства полорогих (Bovidae), иногда рассматриваемый как подвид толсторога. Видовое название дано в честь американского натуралиста Уильяма Хили Далла (1845—1927). Ареал вида простирается от юга Аляски до Британской Колумбии.
