Domestic Yak
Bos grunniens
The domestic yak is a large, long-haired bovine native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and Central Asia. Adapted to cold mountainous environments, yaks possess a thick woolly coat and large lungs that help them thrive at elevations above 3,000 meters. They are integral to the livelihoods of people living in Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia, and surrounding areas, providing milk, meat, wool, and serving as pack animals. Yaks are known for their gentle temperament and impressive stamina, allowing them to navigate rugged terrain with ease.
