There are 3 distinct populations of mouflons in Lozère: the first, and most numerous, is located on the Causse de Sauveterre and the Causse Méjean, on either side of the banks of the Tarn. The second is a little further down the Tarn, on its right bank, straddling Aveyron and Lozère. The third is in the Cévennes.
