    hi Zhang, welcome to JungleDragon! I'm blown away with this spectacular spotting. It's also a species introduction to the site, so you're making a fantastic start :) I'll promote the photo to the homepage.

    One question, could you perhaps geotag the rough location of this photo?

    Hello, fchristant, thank you attention to this picture, according to records and Google maps, leaving 33 ° 25'32.62 "N, 91 ° 56'2.67" E, a train traveling southwest of 7 minutes, photographed these antelopes. Should be in the vicinity of the boundary on the side of the Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai. Posted 11 years ago

The Tibetan Antelope

The Tibetan antelope or chiru is a medium-sized bovid native to the Tibetan plateau. Less than 75,000 individuals are left in the wild, down from a million..In recent years,they have become endangered due to poaching.They are hunted for their soft and warm wool which can only be obtained after death. This wool is known as 'shahtoosh' and is used to weave shawls . At present international trade in their products is strictly prohibited.
