Moon Sheep ( Ovis tragelaphus ), has a long drooping mane which makes a very peculiar impression. The coat consists of long, shaggy bristles and fine, frizzy woolly hair, which cover the entire body. The former extend to an upright, short, reminiscent of a mane crest at the top of the neck, neck and shoulders, and develop on the front and underside of the torso into dense, almost ground-hanging manes, which begin the throat and extend along the neck and forelimbs.
