Genus : Ovis
Species : O. aries
Ovis aries est species mammalium quadrupedum subfamiliae Caprinarum familiae Bovidarum, usitate ut animal domesticum conservatum. Ovis, sicut omnia ruminantia, est in ordine Artiodactylorum, ungulatorum aequis digitis. Nomen ovis, etsi ad multas species pertinet, in usu quotidiano ad Ovem arietem paene semper spectat. Quoniam plusquam quinquies centum milia millionum ovium domesticarum vivunt, eorum est numerosissimae sui generis species.
Mares atque feminae cornua habent, sed cornua feminarum minuta, marum longa atque spiralia sunt. Feminae omnino pullum unum habent, quamquam parire possunt usque ad tres, postquam esse in gestatione in qua plus minusve 146 dies manet.
Oves in orbe
[recensere | fontem recensere]Exstant in orbe terrarum plusquam 800 species ovium, locis tam diversis quam montibus desertisque.
In Australia saeculo vicensimo, pecus ovinum pervenit in gradibus haud antea adsecutis; hoc pernotandi est quia ovis non ingenua huius terrae, continentis Oceaniae sed praevioribus saeculis, sua sub occupatione, introducta est, cumque aliis animalibus.
