Karakul or Qaraqul (named after Qorako'l, a city in the province of Bukhara in Uzbekistan) is a domestic sheep species originating from Central Asia. Some archaeological evidence suggests that Karakul's sheep grew there continuously since 1400 BC.
Originating from the desert region of Central Asia, Karakul's lamb is renowned for its ability to feed and thrive under very harsh living conditions. They can survive in severe drought conditions because of the special qualities they have, storing fat on their tails. Karakul was also raised in large numbers in Namibia, having first been brought there by German colonists in the early 20th century.

The sheep's character is a multi-purpose breed, kept for milking, meat, feathers, and wool. As a fat-tailed breed, they have a distinctive meat. Many adult Characters are double coated; in this case, the spinner separates the rough guard hair from the bottom layer. Karakul is a relatively coarse fiber used for outerwear, carpets and for felting.

Very young Karakul lambs or even fetuses are rewarded for feathers. The newborn sheep's skin is called karakul (also spelled caracul ), swakara (created from South Africa Karakul ), astrakhan (Russian), Persian sheep , agnello in Persian , (Italian), creammer and garakÃÆ'¶li bagana (Turkmen). Sometimes the terms for newborn sheepskin and fetal fur are used interchangeably. The newborn sheep has a tight curly hair pattern. Lambs must be under three days old when they are killed, or they will lose black and soft, coiled rolls of coils. The dominant dark colors and lambs often become darker as they age. The sheep's female curry is called broadtail , Breitschwanz (German), and karakulcha . Fetal lamb sheep are taken by miscarriage, childbirth or by killing the mother sheep and removing the fetus. Instead of killing a healthy lamb, the farmer will kill an older sheep that has given birth many times. People use wool to make various clothes, such as Astrakhan or karakul hats. These feathers have also been used in haute couture.
