BARBARY SHEEP (Ammotragus lervia) "is a species of caprid (goat-antelope)" [Wikipedia]. Then what is it: a goat? A sheep? An antelope? A "Barbarian", like Conan? I show you WWF MAXIMUM CARDS / MAXICARDS / DORINCARDS from CHAD [that's a country here, not your buddy]

"The Barbary Sheep (Ammotragus lervia) is a species of caprid (goat-antelopenative to rockymountains in North Africa. Six subspecies have been described. Although it is rare in its native North Africa, it has been introduced to North America, southern Europe and elsewhere. It is also known as aoudadwaddanarui, and arruis."

"They are very agile and can achieve a standing jump of over 2 metres (7 ft)
Barbary Sheep are very gregarious, and freeze in the presence of danger, probably in order to happen unnoticed to predators."

"No woman, no cry - it's not worth the effort, aggravation or injury" seems to be the philosophical attitude of a male ELAND (Taurotragus derbianus), the largest species of antelope in the world. "There is no evidence of territoriality, and males rarely display aggression, even during the breeding season." - Wikipedia. I show you WWF MAXICARDS from MALI

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Comments:
    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
