	Yak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The yak (Bos grunniens) is a long-haired humped domestic bovine found in Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region of south central Asia, as well as in Mongolia.
		Domesticated yaks are kept primarily for their milk, fiber, and meat; they are also used as beasts of burden, transporting goods across mountain passes for local farmers and traders as well as in support of climbing and trekking expeditions.
		In Manali, a Himalayan region in India, Yaks are used for transport in the mountainous region.

	Yak - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The yak, Bos (POephagus) grunniens, is one of the finest and largest of the wild oxen, characterized by the growth of long shaggy hair on the flanks and under parts of the body and the well-known bushy tail.
		In Europe a false impression of the yak is prevalent, owing to the fact that all the specimens imported have belonged either to a small domesticated breed from Darjiling, or to half-breeds; the latter being generally fl and white, instead of the uniform Domesticated Yak, Bos (Poephagus) grunniens.
		Yak have the great disadvantage that they will not eat corn, and the large pure-bred animals will not live at low elevations.

		Yak are found extensively on the plateau of western China in alpine and subalpine regions at altitudes from 2 000 - 5 000 m with a cold, semi-humid climate.
		The yak in countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS, formerly the Soviet Union) are distributed in the narrow mountain area on the borders with China and Mongolia from Pamir in the west to Lake Baikal in the east.
