What does BHARAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A wild sheep-like animal of the Himalayas, with a bluish-grey coat and horns that curve back.
The bharal lives on high, rocky slopes in the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, and its grey coat blends with the stone around it. English speakers often say blue sheep instead, though zoologists place it between true sheep and goats. The snow leopard is its chief predator, so the two animals often appear together in wildlife writing.
