pressed, smooth horns, directed upwards and backwards with 
great divergency, and with their round points again bent inwards; 
by their short, deer-like tail, which is rather longer than that of 
the Wild Sheep and not disked. They rut in winter, gestate 54 
months, and breed in the summer. 
Their habits resemble those of the Nyens or Wild Sheep, but 
the two never commingle nor approach each other, nor will the 
male, however long and completely they are tamed, have sexual 
commerce with domestic Sheep. Ribs 13 pair— Hodgson. 
The Nahoor is much less easily acclimatized in foreign parts 
than the Jharal, im confinement more resigned and apathetic. 
I have tried in vain to make the Nahoor breed with tame Sheep, 
because he will not copulate with them.—Hodgson, J. A. S. B. 
iv. 493.
