The Aerlan bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis aerlana) is a subspecies of the wider Keltian bighorn sheep (Ovis Keltiana), native to Aerla. Named after their large horns, the subspecies sports a unique white coat.

The subspecies was first documented by botanist Joachim Koch in 1595 AN, when he differentiated it from the Keltian bighorn.
