	Antelope - LoveToKnow 1911
		Its adoption by the languages of Europe cannot apparently be traced farther back than the 4th century of our era, at which date it was employed to designate an imaginary animal living on the banks of the Euphrates.
		The sheep-like saiga, Saiga tatarica, of the Kirghiz steppes stands apart from all other antelopes by its curiously puffed and trunk-like nose, which can be wrinkled up when the animal is feeding and has the nostrils opening downwards.
		More or less nearly related to the saiga is the chiru, Pantholops hodgsoni, of Tibet, characterized by the long upright fl horns of the bucks, and the less convex nose, in which the nostrils open anteriorly instead of downwards.

		The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii; sensu Wilson and Reeder 1993) is a medium-sized bovid endemic to the Tibetan Plateau in China (Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), Xinjiang/Uygur Autonomous Region, and Qinghai Province) and small portions of India (Ladakh) and western Nepal (although no evidence exists that the species still occurs in Nepal).
		Habitat impacts, especially grazing of domestic livestock, appear to be a contributory factor in the decline, and could have potentially greater impacts in the near future.
		We encourage the submission of appropriate data, opinions, and publications regarding the subject petition or the status of the species.

		If all of the shawls prove to be genuine following forensic tests, the haul could represent over 1,000 Tibetan Antelopes that were killed for their wool, with a retail value of several million dollars.
		Unlike other wools that can be harvested by shearing or combing, shahtoosh, which means "the king of wools" can only be obtained by killing Tibetan Antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii, or commonly known as the Chiru), which live almost exclusively in the remote Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
		Poaching has drastically slashed the Tibetan Antelope population because shahtoosh shawls can command high prices on the fl market.

		Differentiating fine hairs from wild and domestic species: Investigations of Shatoosh, Yangir; and Cashmere fibers
		The fine undercoat fibers removed from wild goats hunted for meat and trophy, principally belonging to subspecies of Capra ibex, are used as an alternative to Shatoosh, the hair of the endangered Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii).
		Although currently legal, the large-scale use of these fibers (known as "Yangir"), and hybridization of ibex with domestic goats to improve fiber fineness and yield, would severely threaten the conservation of wild ibex.
