藏羚羊
The Tibetan antelope or "Chiru" lives in one of the harshest environments on earth, at an altitude of over 5,000 metres. Their special type of down fur, which is both very light and warm, allows them to survive in the freezing conditions of the plateau where they gather at one point of the year. They are migratory animals, moving down from Mongolia to Tibet, and traditionally followed closely by the nomads who also make that journey every year. The nomads would hunt the antelope for hide, meat, bones, horns and fur pelts.
