It's the national symbol, but you may never see it.
Cyprus' mouflon is one shy sheep. It was once considered vermin, so you can't entirely blame hunters for its demise. By the 1930s, there were only 15 mouflon, technically a subspecies of wild sheep, left on the island.

One is at Stavros tis Psorkas on the west side of the Troodos mountains -- but, even here, the animals keep a low profile.
