Yaks are animals that are native to Tibet and China but are also found in Mongolia, Nepal and Central Asia. Scientists believe that Qiang tribespeople domesticated yaks at least 5,000 years ago, a claim supported by genetic evidence. However, some Tibetan peoples may have possibly domesticated yaks as long as 10,000 years ago. Domestic yaks far outnumber wild ones and are bred for their tractability for plowing and threshing, high milk production, meat, hides and fur. #animals #yak #sikkim #tsmongo
