What does AUDAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A wild sheep native to the rocky, semi-arid mountains of North Africa, having a thick mane of long hair on its throat and forelegs.
Known too as the Barbary sheep, the audad is more closely related to goats in some respects than to typical sheep, and it is remarkably suited to steep, dry terrain where it can go for long periods without drinking water. Its heavy mane, worn mainly by males, together with sweeping curved horns, makes it one of the more distinctive wild sheep found anywhere in the world. Outside its native range, the audad has also been introduced to ranches and hunting reserves in parts of the southwestern United States.
