The Punjab Urial, (Ovis vignei punjabiensis), is endemic to northern Punjab, Pakistan and is classified as endangered in the IUCN Red Data Book.
The sub-species is threatened by habitat destruction and fragmentation, poaching, competition with domestic livestock and the capture of newborn lambs that are kept as pets.
The understanding of survival patterns is one of the keys to animal population dynamics whether for fundamental (study of life history evolution) or for applied goals (management and conservation of endangered species, management of game species).

 ECOLOGICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN LIVESTOCK AND THE LADAKH URIAL (Ovis Vignei Vignei)
The Ladakh urial is an endangered subspecies of wild sheep endemic to the Indian Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh.
To investigate the effect of potential competition with livestock on urial populations, the interactions between the two groups was studied in the resource-limiting period of winter, in 2002-03.
Therefore, we suggest that urial were possibly excluded from the relatively resource-rich mid- and low- elevations by livestock, forcing them to use possibly sub-optimal resources in the high-elevations.

A urial is a specialized toilet designed to be used only for urination, not defecation, andalmost always by a standing male.
The use of urial cakes is largely due to the fact that many users of the fixtures do not bother to flush when finished usingthe fixture.
This is often because of fear of touching the handle which is located too high to kick (with toilets, users oftenkick the flush lever to avoid perceived or real possibilities of infection from touching it).
