What is the living environment of yak?

Yak is a kind of mammal that lives in alpine region, and its living environment mainly includes the following aspects:

Altitude: Yaks are mainly distributed in alpine areas above 3 thousand meters above sea level, such as Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Pamirs Plateau. The low air pressure and thin oxygen in these areas make it difficult for humans and most animals to adapt.

Climate: The region where yaks live is cold. The annual average temperature may be below zero, and the extreme minimum temperature may reach MINUS 30 to 40 degrees. In this climate, yaks can resist the cold and keep their body temperature.

Vegetation: In the alpine region, the vegetation is mainly grass and shrubs, which is the main food source of yak. There are many precious medicinal materials such as Cordyceps sinensis and Saussurea involucrata in the pasture.

Terrain: Yaks live in alpine meadows and alpine desert areas, with complex terrain, including mountains, canyons and glaciers. In order to adapt to this terrain, yaks have strong limbs and muscles, as well as strong bones and strong hooves, which can climb steep mountains and cross cold snow.

Breeding mode: Due to the harsh climate in the alpine region, humans usually breed yaks by natural stocking. Yaks can feed freely on the vast grassland, and humans will regularly move them to different grasslands to ensure that they have sufficient food sources.

The living environment of yaks is very bad, but they have adapted to this environment and become special animals in alpine regions. The pride of Tibet respects the growth habits of yak, allowing it to grow naturally, feed freely and produce milk naturally, and the yak milk produced is ecologically healthy.
