Talk:Argali

Picture
Are there no photographs of the argali you could use instead of that blurry painting? Caeruleancentaur (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Status paragraph contains clear inaccuracies
The section called "Status" is not consistent with the status listing at the top, and it is not consistent with the quoted source. The status is listed at the top as "Near Threatened", and this can be confirmed by checking the Red List,.

The section on status, however, says that "Argali are considered an endangered or threatened species throughout their entire range...", which is not consistent with the Red List. It is also not consistent with the source quoted in the section, because if you check the quoted source,, it has a section called "Conservation Status", which says that "The IUCN classifies the entire species O. ammon as vulnerable." An interesting thing to say since right below the paragraph they link to the Red List and say "Near Threatened." Perhaps the classification has improved since the article was written.

Unless some other source can be quoted to back up the statement that the Argali are endangered or threatened, I think the the paragraph should be changed to reflect the true status. The animal has suffered range reduction, but is clearly not considered "Endangered" or "Threatened" by the best authority currently quoted in the article.

 * The red list has them listed as near threatened FWIW. Jeffery Thomas 00:59, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Range
On a website, it says that there is a subspecies of argali that is endemic to Corsica. Are you sure they only live in Asia? --Scottishwildcat12 (talk) 08:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
