The Ustyurt Mountain Sheep (Ovis orientalis cycloceros), often referred to as Turkmen Mountain Sheep is a subspecies of Mouflon that inhabit the mountain plateau regions of parts of Central Asia, especially the Ustyurt plateau from which it takes its name. It is particularly common in northern and eastern Turkmenistan and western Kazakhstan.
A number of reserves have been established in Central Asia to protect the sheep and other wildlife. The sheep are found in Gaplaňgyr Nature Reserve for instance.
