Tibetan Antelopes Migration - China

A herd of Tibetan wild donkeys watches Tibetan antelopes migrating in Qiangtang National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, May 8, 2024. Tens of thousands of pregnant Tibetan antelopes start their migration around May every year for birth-giving and would return with their calves in late July. Their natural enemies including wolves and bears are always there to ambush them. Under first-class state protection in China, the once-endangered Tibetan antelope is mostly found in the Xizang Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Their population has increased over the past three decades thanks to a ban on illegal hunting and measures implemented to improve their habitat. Photo by Xinhua/Jiang Fan/ABACAPRESS.COM
