Shaggy symbol of the Tibetan Plateau, the Wild Yak trudges over windswept passes above 4 000 m. Massive bulls graze tough alpine grasses while their dense coat blocks icy gales. Only scattered herds remain in Tibet, Qinghai and Ladakh, pressured by poaching and hybridisation.

Habitat: The Yak can be found in China, India
