Asian wildlife: Argali rams (Ovis ammon), Ikh Nart Nature Reserve, Dornogovi, Mongolia. Near threatened (IUCN, 2013). These animals were out of sight behind a rocky outcrop. When they heard us they scurried up the larger rocky outcrop that was behind them. Then they took a minute or so to look back at us (see next blog posting), and then they moved on, quickly disappearing behind the rocky outcrop. I was fortunate to be able to create a few images. Argali are the largest species of wild sheep.
