The Racka (pronounced Hungarian [ˈrɒts.kɒ]), or Hortobágy Racka Sheep, is an endangered breed of sheep originating in Hungary, known for its curly and crimped wool and unusual spiral horns, which are seen on both the rams and the ewes (albeit slightly shorter on the females). These unique appendages are unlike any other domestic sheep horns, and may grow up to long, growing at a roughly 45-degree, diagonal angle; the shortest standard length is for rams and for ewes.
