The Yak is used throughout Asia as
a farm animal, used to plow fields, and as a pack animal,
hauling gear up mountainous regions. They are considered
sacred in some cultures.
In the wild, the Yak can be
found in mountainous regions, as well as plateaus and other
plains. They will herd with about 25 other Yaks. They are herbivorous
animals, eating grass, moss, and other vegetation. In warmer
months, they mvoe upland to colder regions, and in most cases,
to areas with permanent snow. The Yaks thick
hair protects them from the weather.
