		Total DNA was extracted and sequenced from three dried skin samples of bharal and four dwarf blue sheep from Sichuan and Qinghai provinces in China.
		The phylogenetic trees constructed by multiple methods (NJ and MP) supported the same topology, in which the monophyly of bharal and dwarf blue sheep was obviously demonstrated and the phylogenetic trees were in agreement with the traditional morphological data.
		Our molecular results show that the sequence divergence between bharal and dwarf blue sheep is lower than that between other species in the family Bovidae.

	issg Database: Distribution Details for Equus asinus
		Management options suggested by the authors include supplemental feeding for the bharal both during the lean season of forage availability (winter) and during the high productivity season (summer) when forage competition is high.
		Competition: Results of a study in the high altitude Spiti Valley, Indian Trans-Himalaya, on the competition between seven species of livestock (Equus asinus being one of the seven) and the wild herbivore, the mountain ungulate bharal Pseudois nayaur showed that there is dietry overlap among these herbivore species.
		The study concluded that this high diet overlap between livestock and bharal, together with density-dependent forage limitation, results in resource competition and a decline in bharal density.

		The most common and wide spread of the sheep in the Ladakh region is the bharal or the blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur).
		Their brownish-gray coloring provides them with protective camouflage and as they often stand motionless they can be extremely difficult to spot but, when alarmed, bharal will bolt swiftly to safety.
		Strangely, bharal seems to bear some morphological traits of both sheep and goats.
