The Bullyland animals in my zoo

I think the white is a dall sheep and the other is a mufflon but these pictures are very small for me. Also in my wish list! Congratulations Andreas!

Actually the white mufflon is a Dall sheep

I learned this from Willy, he wrote :

Correction : HEY ! Roger you beat me there

Sorry, Susanne!
You are our Bullylander, I'm only a guest!

With the larger picture from Harriet I'm sure the darker one is a mouflon and the white looks to have the same or unless a very similar mould, so it is a white mouflon. I understand Willy's point and agree but it has not the typical marks from a bighorn! So, unless the darker one is in my wish list even I think the other is very beautiful!

Yes, they are both the same mould - on the bottom of the models it says "Mufflon" but whether Bullyland is correct or not, I don't know

Congratulations Andreas

Congratulations for new additions Andreas!

I think I agree with Willy this time I think mouflons have additional dark and white markings on belly and bighorns not I think the mold may resemble mouflon more but markings are like on bighorn and Dall sheep indeed I may be wrong but look at the links:

Many many thanks friends!!!

Congrats Andreas, another great bunch of animals.

My two cents are that it's a Bighorn, based on the shape of the horns. But it's a sheep, so it's great no matter which!

Thanks for the links Ana! :)
In fact the figure don't respect the typical markings of any of them, you and Willy are right but see for example this....
" They range in color from light brown to grayish or dark, chocolate brown, with a white rump and lining on the back of all four legs. " This is from your link about the bighorn. All subspecies of bighorn have this characteristics of colouring in the legs, only back is white and not half bottom as in the figure.
Legs and horns look like a mouflon and the body maybe more a bighorn. also the marks of some mouflons are not very visible, mainly those animals that were introduced in not native areas. I like this kind of things! My first thought about the white was a dall sheep but the horns and dark muzzle also don't look alike.
My conclusion is that Bullyland should make a new mouflon because we already have a nice bighorn from Safari! ...and why not a dal sheep? They are wonderful!


Well while writing this Carolynn is saying that the horns are bighorn shaped, what can I say more when our sheepgirl also agree with you????
I'm sure I need one in my hands to see better!

Roger, you are correct: they need to make more Mouflons! and Big Horns! and Dall! and Barbary! and Marco Polo!!!!!!!!!

Lets see what is going to happen in 2012! Cross our fingers & pray for it! BULLYLAND are you here??

Well, I guess the white is a Dall sheep of course and the other one could be buy in Europa like a generic mouflon and in America as a Bighorn sheep

I still think we need a Barabary sheep and a mediterranean moufflon

By the way in France, they are all called moufflons...

Yes that's right this figures are not 100% fit to any specie, but they are still very nice figures anyway
Yes, Mediterranean moufflon would be so nice :) Maybe not only from Bullyland

Yes, more species and subspecies!!!

Yes, Christophe, maybe it was not innocent from Bullyland, a half bighorn half mouflon is nice to sell in 2 important markets! ...and with only 1 mould and 2 paintings the brand sold 3 species!
And certainly some customers buy it also for their farms!
Unfortunately the horns of the white figure are very different from a Dall sheep but the painting was certainly inspired in it, but also wrong! The darker version with a repainting makes a wonderful mouflon or a bighorn. Lucky you that are talented enough to repaint them.
Ana is right, in 2011 the replicas world received some magnificent and artistic sheep, so who's better to make a wild ram?

In Danish, the Dall sheep is called an American snow goat

Directly translated in Portuguese we have not a snow goat but a snow sheep, but this one

Ovis Nivicola - snow sheep also in English

The Dall's sheep has also the same name than in English. These wild sheeps are very hard to identify and I think it would be harder if the language mix them.

So wonderful they are!

It seems that all these wild sheep and goats are much more complicated than I thought
Again I learned something new about wildlife her


Carolynn, please, please, don`t crack
You have a wonderful sence of humour

It is almost as confuse as Papo variations!

my newcomers of the january 2012:

Many many thanks for Roger for the great bat gift, for Yvette for the fishes and for my local friend for the antelope and the squirrel.
