The Marco Polo sheep (Ovis ammon polii) is a subspecies of wild sheep native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, particularly the Pamir Mountains and surrounding areas. Named after the famed Venetian explorer Marco Polo, who encountered them during his travels in the 13th century, these sheep are renowned for their impressive curved horns, which can exceed 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length. They inhabit rugged and inaccessible terrain at high altitudes, often above 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), where they graze on alpine vegetation. Marco Polo sheep are adapted to extreme environments, with thick fur to withstand harsh winters and specialized hooves for navigating rocky terrain. Due to habitat loss, hunting pressure, and poaching, their populations are declining, leading to conservation efforts to protect this iconic species.
