The Blandford's Urial is a subspecies of wild sheep belonging to the Bovidae family. They are native to the mountainous regions of Pakistan. These mammals are medium-sized sheep with a robust build. They can weigh between 220 to 330 pounds and stand around 28 to 35 inches tall at the shoulder. Both males and females have horns, but the males' horns are larger and more impressive.

These animals are well-adapted to live in challenging environments. They inhabit steep, rocky slopes, hills, and cliffs, generally at elevations between 3,300 to 14,800 feet above sea level. These animals have several remarkable adaptations that help them thrive in their rugged habitat. Their strong hooves are specially designed for climbing steep terrain and provide excellent traction on rocky surfaces. The thick fur provides insulation against cold temperatures.

As herbivores, Blandford Urials primarily graze on grasses, herbs, shrubs, and other vegetation found in their mountainous habitats. Their unique digestive system allows them to extract maximum nutrients from tough and fibrous plant material. 

Blandford Urials are social animals and typically live in groups called herds. The herds are often segregated by gender, with females and young forming separate herds, while adult males form bachelor groups. During the breeding season, males may join the female herds to compete for mating opportunities. Breeding season, known as the rut, occurs during late autumn. Male Urials engage in horn-clashing battles to establish dominance and attract females. After a successful mating, females give birth to one or two offspring after a gestation period of about 150 days.

Like many wildlife species, Blandford Urials face threats to their survival due to habitat loss, hunting, and human encroachment. They are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect their populations
