YAK -  boat of snow region in plateau

It is one of the unique rare cattle species and herbivorous ruminants centered on China's Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its adjacent alpine, subalpine and alpine areas. Yak can adapt to the high and cold climate. It is a mammal living at the highest altitude in the world (except human beings). It is distributed in areas with an altitude of more than 3000 meters on China's Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

Yak is full of treasure, and Tibetan people can't live without it. People drink yak milk, eat yak meat and burn yak dung. Its wool can be used for clothes or tents, and its leather is a good material for tanning. It can be used not only for farming, but also as a means of transportation on the plateau to provide local herdsmen with production and living necessities such as milk, meat, wool, labor and fuel. It is not only an important source of life and economy for herdsmen on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, but also an indispensable and important animal species in the local animal husbandry economy. Yak, as a kind of "omnipotent" livestock, is an extremely valuable gene bank in genetics, which has social and economic significance that can not be ignored for human beings
