@rzss
Are Himalayan wolves just another wolf?
Genetic data suggests they are not quite grey
, nor are they African
. Himalayan
are a unique genetic lineage ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfPhylo ) with genetic adaptations that enable them to thrive at high altitudes ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfAdaptations)

What do Himalayan
like to eat? Mostly blue sheep
, but also marmots, woolly hares, pika, and if they can find them, Tibetan gazelles.
But they prefer wild prey to livestock – valuable knowledge for the people who live with Himalayan
on their doorstep.
