A wild sheep found in North Africa, also called a Barbary sheep, with curved horns and a reddish-brown coat.
From Arabic or Berber origins; the word comes from North African languages where this animal is native. The audad has been known to inhabitants of the Sahara and Atlas Mountains for millennia.
The audad is so strange that it's actually between a sheep and a goat—it climbs like a goat but is technically a sheep—and its name comes from the languages of the people who actually lived alongside them!
