9. Argali


Oh, you’ve seen an Argali before have you? Actually unless you’ve spent time in Mongolia, Siberia or Tibet I very much doubt it. Even then these large wild sheep are very rare. The Argali may not seem particularly different from any other sheep however Argali are critically endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. The Argali travel the plains of central Asia in same sex herds of up to 100 and are a rare sight indeed.
