A small herd of corsican mouflon sheep in the Sancy range. I could get rather close to them, creeping on the ground and hiding myself behind rocks. This group contains only females and youngs, the males apparently live separately. The mouflon is the european equivalent of the bighorn sheep, and is thought to be one of the ancestors of all modern sheep breeds.
