There are five traditional herd animals in Mongolia: horses, sheep, goats, camels, cows/yaks.
Today I'm posting my pictures of the yak as both Sim and I mistook this creature for a long haired cow!! So if you are in doubt yourself, here's how they look! They are quite timid creatures.
There's always a black "yak" of the family it seems.....Ignore the horse! |
Close encounter of the yak kind |
