Wildlife in Tibet

| Tibet 
            is rich in wildlife. We were lucky enough to see quite a few awsome 
            animals during our trip. In barren West Tibet we saw such an impressive 
            variety of anmimals that truely amazed us. Herds of wild ass, Chiru 
            antelopes, and many, many birds. Of course, traditionally the domestic 
            animals (sheep, goat, yak, camel, horse) of the nomads are part of 
            it - although we observed quite some damage due to overgrazing. The links below point to websites with background information about some of the most common animals in Tibet. | Tibet 
            hat eine sehr reichhaltige Fauna. Auf unserer Tour hatten wir Glück, 
            viele Wildtiere beobachten zu können. Besonders im kargen Westtibet 
            beeindruckte uns die Vielfalt and Wildtieren nachhaltig: riesige Herden 
            Wildesel, Chiru-Antilopen, und viele, viele Vögel. Natürlich 
            gehören traditionell auch die Haustiere der Nomaden (Schafe, 
            Ziegen, Yak, Kamel, Pferd) dazu, obwohl wir an vielen Stellen starke 
            Überweidungsschäden feststellen konnten.  Die Links unten zeigen zu Webseiten mit mehr Hintergrund zu den häufigsten Tieren in Tibet. |
