The Yaks
A yak is a wild ox of Asia. It inhabits the cold, dry plateaus of Tibet, often more than 4870 meters above the sea level.
Adult male yaks grow to an average height of two meters at the shoulder, and weight about 1000 kg and the females weight a third of that.
A yak is covered with long and shaggy hair. It has a dense undercoat of soft, close matted hair. Wild yaks can be brown or black, and both males and females have horns. Wild yaks secrete a special sticky substance in their sweat that helps keep their underhair matted. This substance is also used in traditional Nepalese medicine.
The indigenous tribes of the Tibetan plateaus have domesticated the yaks for many years. They rely heavily on them for transportation and as pack animals because they are very strong and able to manoevers along dangerous ice and snow-covered land.
The domesticated yaks are also important to farmers as it is used to plough fields. Its meat and milk are widely consumed. The soft hair is used to make clothes. Saddles, whips, boots, and other articles are made from the hide. The bushy tail is used as fly chase at ceremonial processions in India.
