There should be no mistaken identity with the argalis: horns curl up, back, and around, making a full circle and often more.
The primary argali range is generally from western China and Mongolia westward deep into Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
Argali Ovis ammon provide a good example of a species for which obtaining a population estimate, as differentiated from an abundance index, remains a largely unresolved challenge.
(1997) reported on aerial surveys of argali in the Gobi desert of Mongolia using distance sampling, but cost and logistics have prevented replicating this type of survey.
Mr
Argalis spent two years in coal mines in South Wales before moving to Coventry in 1951 to work at the Brico foundry, where he stayed for 30 years.
Ian
Argalis, aged 18, of Tiverton Road, Wyken, Coventry, driving with an incorrect licence, failing to produce a licence, using a vehicle without insurance, failing to produce a certificate of insurance, using a vehicle without a test certificate, failing to produce a test certificate and driving a motorbike without wearing protective headgear, fined pounds 370.
Near the top, exactly where they had been all day, lay the two great Marco Polo argalis. In that clear icy air they seemed close enough to touch, but the rangefinder read 700 yards.
George Leigh Mallory, upon being asked why he had undertaken climbing Mount Everest, replied simply, "Because it's there." I do not suggest that hunting Marco Polo's argali in the Pamirs of Talikistan equates to climbing Mount Everest, but this highest dwelling, longest-horned and most legendary of all the world's true wild sheep has long represented an ultimate adventure and an ultimate trophy.
Stephen
Argalis, aged 29, of Barston Close, Longford, driving with an incorrect licence, failing to produce a licence, driving without insurance, failing to produce an insurance certificate, driving without a test certificate and failing to produce a test certificate, fined pounds 325.
Species Ovis ammon comprises the large-bodied, flaring-horned argalis of Central Asia.
Mixed in the milling mass were a half-dozen mature rams with thick horns that flared out in the classic argali curl.
Argali, like other sexually dimorphic Capridae, form sexually segregated groups outside the breeding season.
Argali (Ovis ammon), also known as the big sheep in Artiodactyla, Ruminantia, Boridae, Caprinae, genus Ovis, belongs to wild animals under the second class state protection [1].
