Mongolian Yaks: Mongolia is one of the few countries that have yaks. Mongolian yaks are wonderful animals that usually live in the northern mountainous area. They are very useful and good animals. Not like their distant relative Mongolian cows, yaks are not lazy. Yaks are used widely in the country and used for riding, loading, milking and meat etc.

Gun-Galuut Nature Reserve: Gun Galuut is a breathtaking nature reserve, which is home for some endangered wildlife species including wild mountain sheep Argali, White crane, White naped crane, Whooper swan, Black stork, Blue Heron, White Crane.

The reserve is a great protected paradise - a marvelous combination of pristine waterfronts situated amongst majestic mountains with unique wildlife, beautiful native flowers and lovely lakes with rare waterbirds.
