Wild yak
Large, wild bovines native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, their primary habitat consists of treeless uplands lying between 3,000 and 6,000 meters and dominated by mountains and plateaus.
Wild yaks are herd animals. Their herds can contain several hundred individuals and consist primarily of females and their young, with a smaller number of adult males.
Wild yaks are listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List, and are under level-one national protection for wild animals in China.
Males are especially threatened by poachers as a result of their solitary lifestyle.
