Sheep (Ovis) is a mammal genus in the Caprinae subfamily along with goats. Domestic sheep are the most common type of breed geographically and in population, but many wild species also belong to the genus Ovis.

The domestic sheep was domesticated approximately 6,000 to 8,000 years ago and is one of the oldest domesticated animals alongside the dog. It is the richest family of the ruminant family in terms of species. They are widespread in North America, Europe, Asia and especially Africa. They reached South America and Australia by human hand. They are found in different biotopes, especially in steppes, mountainous areas, and to a lesser extent in forests. They feed on plant foods and tend to form a flock.
