Mouflons, according to their age and sex, show particular social tendencies during the annual cycle. During its life, each individual builds on its own "ontogenetic social trajectory" whose annual variations are representative of its social tendencies. Males and females present major differences from the beginning of their second year of life. As they grow older, a process of social segregation develops between the sexes. Individual behaviour is considered here as one of the major causes of group formation in mouflons. This point of view, inspired by Mason, appears quite complementary to Hinde's conceptual framework and leads us to a new viewpoint of social system in ungulates.
根据年龄和性别，摩弗伦羊在年度周期中表现出特定的社会倾向。在其一生中，每个个体都建立起自己的“个体发育社会轨迹”，其年度变化代表了它的社会倾向。雄性和雌性从第二年开始就存在重大差异。随着年龄的增长，两性之间形成了社会隔离的过程。在这里，个体行为被认为是摩弗伦羊群体形成的主要原因之一。这一观点受到梅森的启发，似乎与欣德的概念框架相辅相成，并引导我们对有蹄类动物的社会系统有了新的认识。
