|
Ovis is a genus of mammals, part of the goat-antelope subfamily of the ruminant family Bovidae. Its five or more, highly sociable species are known as sheep. The domestic sheep is one member of the genus, and is thought to be descended from the wild mouflon of central and southwest Asia.

Galloanserae
|
Galloanserae is the superorder known as Poultry / Fowl with birds belonging to one of two biological orders, namely the gamefowl or landfowl (Galliformes - turkey, grouse, chicken, New and Old World quail, ptarmigan, partridge, pheasant, junglefowl and the Cracidae) and the waterfowl (Anseriformes - ducks, geese, and swans). Studies of anatomical and molecular similarities suggest these two groups are close evolutionary relatives; together, they form the fowl clade which is scientifically known as Galloanserae (initially termed Galloanseri).[
|
