The northern kiang (Equus kiang chu) is a subspecies of the kiang. The northern kiang has a distinct "mating call". It usually has a black stripe around the back of its head, which also separates it from the other subspecies of the kiang. Unlike the southern, western and eastern kiangs, the northern variety can be ridden with ease.
