, but they differ in anatomical body features. Because Laristan Sheep possess both urial characteristics (horns curl along the side of the head) and Anatolian Sheep characteristics (saddle patch present), it is possible that this species originated from a hybrid that became geographically isolated and evolved into a form with urial-type horns but with Anatolian Sheep-type chromosomes and pelage. However, it is also possible that Laristan Sheep evolved from an isolated Anatolian Sheep population that evolved urial type horns but retained the anatomical features of Anatolian Sheep (i.e. reduced neck ruff and a saddle patch). Horn shape can be variable within a sheep population and isolated forms could have evolved a uniform horn shape. Wild sheep sampled

In the Bamou National Park north of the city of Shiraz, Laristan Sheep occur from valley bottoms to undulating and mountainousterrain. They usually are not sighted in steep, rocky terrain. Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) and Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the predators. Wild sheep in

Mating probably occurs in November; after a gestation period of 150-160 days, ewes give birth to one or two young in April. The reproductive tracts of 57 ewes aged from one to four or more years of age were examined during late gestation, and all of the ewes were pregnant. None of the yearlings or two-year-olds had twins, but 25% of the three-year-olds and 53% of those four or older had twins. None of the lambs examined were pregnant, indicating that Laristan Sheep mate as yearlings and give birth at age two.

laristanica). During the 1970s, the population in the Bamou National Park was estimated at 1150. Recent estimates are not available. The Laristan Sheep population near the city of Shiraz, which borders the Bamou National Park, is highly vulnerable to illegal hunting, predation by feral dogs, and transmission of diseases from domestic sheep and goats. Outside protected areas, Laristan Sheep occur in areas overstocked with livestock and subjected to illegal hunting. Populations have been extirpated over widespread areas.
