Common Name: Kamachatka Snow Sheep
Scientific Name: Ovis nivicola nivicola
Location: Kamchatka Peninsula, Siberia, Russia, below latitude 60º
Usually darker in color than the other snow sheep and lacking a white (or light) forehead patch. Horns on average have heavier bases than the mainland snow sheep which has caused some to call this subspecies the Kamchatka bighorn. This is incorrect because they are still a thinhorn species with horns similar (or identical) to the Dall or Stone Sheep of North America.
