Argali Littledale Sheep are one of the largest species of wild sheep. They have a sturdy body covered in a thick, wooly coat. Males, known as rams, have impressive, spiraled horns that can grow up to 6 feet long. Females, called ewes, have smaller horns or none. These sheep inhabit the mountainous regions of Central Asia, such as the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. They prefer steep and rocky terrain at high elevations, often found between 16,000 feet above sea level. To thrive in their rugged environment, these sheep have developed some remarkable adaptations. Their specialized hooves have a soft inner core that provides an excellent grip on rocky surfaces, making it easier for them to climb and move through steep terrain. Their thick wooly coat helps protect them from the cold temperatures at high altitudes.

As herbivores, Argali Littledale Sheep primarily graze on grasses, herbs, and other low-lying vegetation found in their mountainous habitat. Argali Littledale Sheep are social animals and live in herds. The herds can consist of several females, their young, and a dominant male. During the mating season, males compete for dominance and access to females.

Argali Littledale Sheep are classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their population is declining due to factors such as habitat loss, hunting, and competition for resources with domestic livestock. To protect them, conservationists work to establish and manage protected areas, regulate hunting, and raise awareness about their importance and vulnerability.
