Looking at the title, I know that "controversial" probably means that their taxonomic classification is debated, but I like to think that the sheep themselves are involved in some kind of scandal.

Happy for u bro

Man, during my childhood and preteen years, your channel is the thing i wish existed the most. Now that i am beginning my biology course at 18 years of age, i am loving every single vídeo. I have been following you for more than a year now and you are one of.my favorite channels. Also, i didn't know how to speak or understand english when i was younger, so i don't think that you started late at all. Much much love from Brazil bro, keep up the amazing work.

Yay! A new video :)

You have such a wonderfully informative channel.

I love your videos it's very educational.

i love this videos great job as always :)

Really nice video, always a pleasure to learn about animals. Can’t wait for the goat episode

They're beautiful. Thanks so much for this informative post.

As always, wonderful.

Love the videos!

Great video!

Loved the video

Can’t get enough of these guys

Very good video.🎉😊

Hey man,love your videos,very educational.Plz do me a favor a do a whole video about deer,antelope etc

Very nice 👍

The video is great as usual. Doesn't "Nilgiri Tahr" come under this category? If not, can you please make a video which includes Nilgiri Tahr and related species?

Tahrs constitute the tribe Hemitragini, where there are three extant species under three monotypic genera: the Arabian Tahr (Arabitragus jayakari), the Nilgiri Tahr (Nilgiritragus hylocrius), and the Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus), they are the most basal tribe of the subfamily Ovibovinae, which does more closely relate them to the tribes Naemorhedini (Gorals, Mountain Goat, Serows, and Chamoises) and Ovibovini (Muskox and Takin) than to goats (tribe Caprini) and sheep (tribe Ovini) that both constitute the subfamily Caprinae, both subfamilies Ovibovinae and Caprinae are part of the family Bovidae, but they are very different and not closely related, the Ovibovinae subfamily forms a clade with the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeests, Wildebeests, Damalisks, and Hirola) while the Caprinae subfamily forms a clade with the subfamilies Antilopinae (True Antelope and Gazelles), Cephalophinae (Duikers), and Neotraginae (Dwarf Antelope), the Ovibovinae + (Hippotraginae + Alcelaphinae) clade is treated as the most basal of all the three major bovid clades, whereas the Caprinae + (Antilopinae + (Cephalophinae + Neotraginae)) clade is more closely related to the clade containing the subfamilies Peleinae (Rhebok and Fossil Relatives), Reduncinae (Reedbucks, Lechwes, Kob, Puku, and Waterbuck), and Bovinae (Cattle, Spiral-Horned Antelope, Nilgai, and Chousingha).

Nope badlands and the black hills are just the far eastern edge of their range

For the controversial species couldn't they just do genetic analysis to see whether it's more closely related to sheep or goat so that their taxonomical position is clear?

@indyreno2933

Ай бұрын

The Caprinae subfamily is split into two tribes: Ovini (Sheep) and Caprini (Goats), just like the Antilopinae subfamily is split into two tribes: Gazellini (Gazelles) and Antilopini (True Antelope).

They can, however even genetic studies rarely produce a 100% clear answer. Mistakes can be made when extracting DNA, choosing samples/the number of samples, and running the data through programs. And even when the experiment clearly done right, people can still argue that you misinterpreted the results. That's why a lot of taxonomy is still heavily debated these days, even for animals that have had a lot of genetic studies done on them.

Really want to see all the wild goats. Didn’t know there was a difference

Hey utah, that's where I'm from. I've seen a couple of those sheep

Goats and sheep are of the subfamily Caprinae, but they are different tribes within it, sheep are of the tribe Ovini whereas goats are of the tribe Caprini.

Sheep 🐑 and Goats 🐐are in the same subfamily Caprinae (Goat-like) and the same tribe Caprini (True Goats and kin). True Goats are in the genus Capra that's Latin for Goat, all other Goats in the subfamily are "Goats", example Rocky mountain "goat" of the genus Oreamnos (Mountain-lamb in Greek), not a true Goat. True Sheep are in the genus Ovis that's Latin for Sheep, all other Sheep in the subfamily are "Sheep", example Barbary "sheep" of the genus Ammotragus (Sand-goat in Greek), not a true Sheep.

Grogar's cousins! :D

I wonder what kind of ecological event enabled sheep to leave the mountains and spread out so far, considering they have essentially managed to colonise every mountain range, but seem to be trapped on these sky islands today.

What about goats?

use kgs pls.

Actually there are twelve extant sheep species, sheep are bovids that constitute the tribe Ovini, one of the two tribes that constitute the subfamily Caprinae, the other being the goats (tribe Caprini), the twelve sheep species under three genera are the Eastern Aoudad (Ammotragus ornatus), the Western Aoudad (Ammotragus lervia), the Himalayan Bharal (Pseudois nayaur), the Chinese Bharal (Pseudois szechuanensis), the Dwarf Bharal (Pseudois schaeferi), the Helan Shan Bharal (Pseudois helanshanensis), the Mouflon (Ovis gmelini (cladistically including the Domestic Sheep (Ovis gmelini aries))), the Urial (Ovis vignei), the Argali (Ovis ammon), the Ozu (Ovis nivicola), the Manitou (Ovis dalli), and the Tuku (Ovis canadensis), among the sheep species in the Ovis genus, the ozu that is native to Siberia is the closest living relative of the manitou and tuku that both live in North America, with the argali that is present in Central Asia being the second closest, and the urial that is native most of Western Asia being the third closest, leaving the mouflon that is the only wild sheep species native to Europe while also being present mostly in Western Asia and is what the domestic sheep is cladistically a subspecies of being the most basal, similarly, goats (tribe Caprini) are made of nine extant species under three genera: the Western Tur (Brachyceros caucasicus), the Eastern Tur (Brachyceros cylindricornis), the Markhor (Aegoceros falconeri), the West Asian Ibex (Capra aegagrus (cladistically including the Domestic Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus))), the Central Asian Ibex (Capra sibirica), the Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex), the Occidental Ibex (Capra pyrenaica), the Afroarabian Ibex (Capra nubiana), and the Walia Ibex (Capra walie), surprising as it is, goats and sheep are more closely related to true antelope, gazelles, duikers, and dwarf antelope that constitute the subfamilies Antilopinae, Cephalophinae, and Neotraginae respectively, caprines, antilopines, duikers, and dwarf antelope all form a clade that is the sister group to the one that contains the rhebok, reduncines, and bovines, leaving the one that consists of the subfamilies Ovibovinae (Muskox, Takin, Gorals, Mountain Goat, Serows, Chamoises, and Tahrs), Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope), and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeests, Wildebeests, Damalisks, and Hirola) as the most basal and distantly related from all the other groups, which means that goats, sheep, true antelope, gazelles, duikers, dwarf antelope, reedbucks, lechwes, kobs, pukus, waterbucks, and rheboks are all more closely related to bovines than any of them are to the muskox, takin, gorals, mountain goat, serows, chamoises, tahrs, grazing antelope, hartebeests, wildebeests, damalisks, or hirola.

Fun fact: antelope are not a formal group, while most bovids are referred to as antelope, only members of the tribe Antilopini are true antelope, whereas the bovid taxa Hippotraginae, Peleinae, Reduncinae, Tetracerus, Tragelaphini, Gazellini, Cephalophinae, and Neotraginae are not true antelope as they are not of the Antilopini tribe, the only five extant species of true antelope are the Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), Saiga Antelope (Saiga tatarica), the Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), the Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis), and the Impala (Aepyceros melampus), those five species are true antelope as they are of the tribe Antilopini, which is further split into the subtribes Saigina for both the saiga and tibetan antelope, Antilopina for both the blackbuck and springbok, and Aepycerotina for the impala, in fact, aoudads and bharals are sheep as they are of the tribe Ovini.

Wow see many of these i would have literally assumed were goats if i saw these. I had no idea sheep could have massive horns. Even the big horn sheep an animal.moat americans know off i just thought tjat was its name and genetically would have been goats. I need to look up the difference between sheep and goats.
