Largest wild ass roaming salt plains in Himalayas, in Ladakh

From the archive record

With a disproportionately big head, the kiang is the largest of the wild asses. It usually weighs 250 to 360 kilograms, almost the weight of three to four adult men. During the dry season, the animal can survive without drinking water for several days. It is also good at digging wells at places where the underground water level is high. These wells are called “donkey wells” by locals. In summer, the kiang wears a dashing reddish brown coat. The fur will grow darker and thicker in the winter. Every July and August, baby kiangs are born after staying in their mothers' wombs for almost one year. During this time, kiangs usually form smaller groups of less than 20.
