The Hoh Xil Mountain and the Wild Tibetan Donkeys

The Hoh Xil Mountain is the southern branch of the Kunlun Mountains. It has an east-west orientation with an average elevation of 6000 meters. Despite the harsh climate and natural conditions that make Hoh Xil unsuitable for long-term human habitation, they create unique living environments for high-altitude wildlife. Hoh Xil is home to over 230 species of wild animals, including the endangered Tibetan antelope, wild yak, wild donkey, brown bear, and more. The photo captures a group of wild Tibetan donkeys (Equus kiang) leisurely foraging at the foot of the Hoh Xil Mountain.
