MOUFLON, or MUFLON  , the wild sheep (Ovis musimon) of Corsica and Sardinia, where it is now very local . The ewes are either hornless or provided with quite small horns, the hornless form being probably characteristic of one island and the horned of the other . The rams carry good horns, and in summer show a conspicuous light saddle-shaped mark on the otherwise dark-coloured coat . The Armenian mouflon (0. orientalis), of Persia, Armenia, and the Troodos range of Cyprus, is typically a larger and redder sheep, with the horns curving in the reverse direction; but the Cyprian race is small .
