Black head persian Sheep is a short-haired, woolly domestic species bred for milk, flesh and leather. The originality of this sheep is not its black head present in other species but the presence of a greasy mass on its posterior which would be an adaptation to life in a semi-desert environment, just like the humps of the Dromedary and Camel. Of a peaceful nature like all sheep, the charges of the male head down to defend his females or his territory, will unpleasantly surprise the unknown who enters his park.
