摘要: The main aim of this study was to determine the numbers, population structure and seasonal changes in group argali Ovis ammon karelini Severtzov, 1873 Tian-Shan Kyrgyzstan. carried out within two adjoining areas: Baralbas River region, Ak-Tash region. Data were collected during three seasons: winter, spring summer. This consisted 42.3% females, 22.2% males, 13.4% yearlings, 22.1% lambs. Composition numbers groups seasonally changing. Argali occurred predominantly mixed winter exclusively separated maximum size decreased from 25% spring, however, increased
