Cameroons sheep. Illustration from the Project Gutenberg version of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT NO. 1178, originally published in NEW YORK, JUNE 25, 1898. The original caption reads:
"The little, black and red-spotted Cameroons sheep, from the western coast of Africa, have not a trace of wool. But why should they have? The negroes need no clothing, and, consequently, they have not bred sheep with wool; and, besides, such an animal could not live in the tropics, even if the black man were a much better stock raiser and breeder than he is. The mane on the neck, and breast of the Cameroons ram reminds one of the North American sheep; but it must be remembered that the mouflon and arkal rams have this ornament quite clearly, although not so strongly defined."
