A heavily built mammal, Poephagus grunniens, of the order Artiodactyla that has been domesticated but still exists in the wild state in Tibet and high areas of China, living at elevations of 13,000–20,000 ft (about 4–6 km). It is related to the bison, which it resembles anatomically in having 14 pairs of ribs instead of the 13 pairs more usual of the order. Economically, it is probably the most important animal in Tibet, being used as a beast of burden and for its excellent milk. The dung is used as fuel, the hair is used for making cloth, and the flesh is eaten. Calving occurs in the autumn after a gestation period of about 10 months. See also Artiodactyla; Bison.
