URIAL PUNJAB Hunting

Ovis vignei punjabensis

Distribution: Pakistan, in the Salt and Kala Chitta ranges between the Indus and Jhelum rivers.

Description: A handsome sheep, with a redder coat than other urials. Males have a white bib and a long black neck ruff in the winter coat. Most Punjab urials have a narrow, two-colored saddle patch (black in front, white behind). The rump patch, belly and lower legs are white. There is a dark narrow stripe between belly and upper body. The horns are cervical, curling tightly or less.

CITES: Appendix II. Only an export permit is required. These species do not require an import permit (only in some countries that have adopted more strict rules).
