The moufflon is to Cypriots what the kangaroo is to Australians - an easily recognisable national emblem that appears in a stylised form on the distinctive gold, blue and white tail fin of their national airline, Cyprus Airways.
The male moufflon is a very handsome beast, he is similar in built to a young strongly-built buck with a short-haired coat, short tail and very distinctive curled horns that can be as long as 60 cm.
Traditionally, the moufflon move to the higher areas in the mountains in the summer, and to the lower areas in the winter.

Not much attention was given to the Moufflon beside the Red Deer and Fallow Deer world record trophies until 1986, when a ram with a 104 cm horn was bagged in Telki.
This ram took the 10th place on the world top chart and proved that the Hungarian Moufflon lives up to higher international standards.
The best quality populations live in the Hungarian mountains, like the Mátra, the Bükk and the Pilis, but as a result of recent settling programs, today the Moufflon can be found in most of the hilly woodlands of the country.
