Ouessant sheep

[1] It is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep breeds, together with several other types from Great Britain, Scandinavia and Germany.

[3] They are currently being raised in a number of European countries including Germany, France, and Great Britain.

[citation needed] Most Ouessant are black or dark brown in color, but white individuals do occur.

The Ouessant existed exclusively on its home island until the beginning of the 20th century, and is still a rare breed today.

In Paris, the city government recently began using a small herd of Ouessant sheep to graze public lands.
