Légende

Wild Sheep of the Punjab, in the Gardens of the Zoologicial Society, Regent's-Park, 1854. Urial at London Zoo. 'The...Indian Wild Sheep (Ovis Vignei) has a very extensive range in the Himalaya, and forms one of the most exciting objects of the mountain chase. It is far more deer-like than the European moufflon, and, when full grown, attains a very considerable size. Their activity, courage, and wariness render it by no means an easy task to secure a numerous bag of these animals; and the Himalayan sportsman has many a mile of valley and hill top to scour before he can accumulate a first-rate series of trophies'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
