What does ARGALI mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large wild sheep of the mountains of Central Asia, notable for the massive curled horns of the male.
The argali, known to scientists as Ovis ammon, ranges across the high plateaus and mountains from Siberia to the Himalayas and is the largest of all wild sheep species. Males carry enormous spiraling horns that can weigh more than the rest of their skull combined, used mainly in head-butting contests during the breeding season. Hunting and habitat loss have reduced argali numbers across much of their range, and several subspecies are now protected.
