Timid mouflon
Mouflons are native to Corsica and are perfectly adapted to the mountain environment. The males have thick and heavy horns that form a full circle by the time they become adults. 40% of female mouflons have short horns measuring around 15 cm, while the others have no horns at all.
These animalsare shy and particularly gregariousthey are also very prolific and hardy. The females can bear offspring when they are only one year old!
