. Argali dwell mainly in mountain steppe with shrubs and rocky outcrops. The Aktau massif within the Tamdytau Range is more arid and more precipitous. Freshwater sources are scarce and grass dries out by the end of May. Main predators of Severtzovs Argali are Gray Wolves (Canis lupus), responsible for 20% of annual mortality.

In the Nuratau Range, in autumn and winter, animals browse on ephedra shrubs that may constitute up to 90% of stomach content, almond and maple trees, and they graze on grasses and various herbs. On an annual basis, grasses and forbs are their forage components. Severtzovs Argali also dig up roots of plants.

Rut occurs from the end of October until the third week of November, with a peak in the first week of November. Births occur on 10-15 April. In May—-August of the 1960s in Nuratau Range, the population consisted of 26-8% males, 39-8% females, and 33-4% lambs. The lamb—female ratio was 0-84:100, indicating frequent twinning. In 2002, in the Hayat Valley, Nuratau Range, of 193 Severtzovs Argali sighted, the lamb—female ratio was 0-79 with seven pairs of twins. The yearling—female ratio was 0-26; the low yearling ratio was caused by a drought in 2001.

In the warm time of the year, animals are active in the morning until 09:00 h and in the evening beginning at 18:00 h. With the approach of winter weather, activity gradually rises in the daytime and in winter they are active throughout the day.

the Nuratau Range was 9-3; the average female group size was eight. During rut, most animals form mixed herds with a maximum of 54 animals. Outside rut, mixed groups are rare and mixed groups consist of younger males that may associate with females and vice versa.
