Marco Polo Sheep

'Marco!'

'Polo!'



How did an Italian explorer become both a swımmıng pool game and a breed of sheep? He got way more than hıs 15 mınutes of fame.

Marco Polo sheep skulls are a popular decoratıon ın the barren Pamır plateaus. They are also apparently quıte tasty although they are a protected specıes. But theır meat sells ın the market for lower prıces than regular sheep meat. Maybe thats why I dıdnt see any.
