Abstract
The Laristan mouflon (Ovis orientalis laristanica) is considered as the smallest wild sheep in the world and a vulnerable species. This study analysed the mating behaviour of 30 individuals including nine rams, 13 ewes and eight lambs in captivity in the Chitgar woodland Tehran, Iran. In general, the main behaviours comprised ewe-ram and ram-ram positive and negative interactions, consisting of ram fighting and ewe's stimulation. Moreover, ewe-ewe interaction, ranking and defining the territory was recorded for further researches. The study also focused on weather conditions and its connection to the harshness of the mating behaviour.
Laristan mouflon (Ovis orientalis laristica)被认为是世界上最小的野生羊，也是一个脆弱的物种。这项研究分析了伊朗德黑兰Chitgar林地中30只圈养动物的交配行为，其中包括9只公羊、13只母羊和8只羊羔。一般来说，母羊的主要行为包括公羊和公羊的正、负相互作用，包括公羊的打斗和母羊的刺激。此外，还记录了母羊之间的相互作用、排序和界定领地，以供进一步研究。该研究还关注了天气状况及其与交配行为的严酷程度之间的关系。
