The European mouflon is the only non-native ungulate in Karkonosze. It was brought here around a century ago. It is the smallest wild sheep and an ancestor of domestic sheep. It was brought to various parts of Europe. Individuals brought to the continent originated in Sardinia and Corsica.

According to some sources, the relict populations inhabiting those islands and Cyprus appear to be the descendants of domesticated mouflons, which were introduced there in ancient times from the area of their primary occurrence, extending from Asia Minor to the Persian Gulf and the eastern borders of Iran.
