because it just dont that is a part of its nature////
No a yak is a herbivore, It eats only plants.
A Yak is a herbivore, consuming grasses, herbs, mosses and lichens
Yak
The yak or Bos grunniens - population is declining sharply. Yaks are being gradually pushed up the Himalayas, with scientists fearing that the time is not far away when there will be no more "comfort zone" left for it to survive. Only four states in India have yaks - Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. "It's a serious case of impact of climate change and global warming. Farmers are increasingly reporting that their animals are unable to bear the rising temperature in altitudes that were comfort zone for centuries," said K P Ramesha, senior scientist with the National Research Centre on Yak (NRCY), the only centre of its kind in India. Yaks can live only in altitudes starting from 7000 feet upwards, and while 5-13° Celsius is its thermo-neutral or comfort zone, it is also the only animal that can survive even at minus-40° Celsius. But yak rearers are now moving upwards above 8,000 feet in order to save their animals. - See more at the link below.
its low because of all the yak tutty inside of it ;)
food
The yak is found in some parts of Asia. There are two types of yak, the domestic and wild yak. The wild yak is much bigger than the domestic yak. The yak is a cold climate animal and travels in snow.
quietly in a cold climate
The Yak is a high altitude dweller and can survive at altitudes of 20,000 feet
high climate such as mountains,plains, or anything with high elevation
They have long thick fur
Because Muskoxen can survive in the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland and Alaska and providing there is grass, herbs and lichens to eat, maybe the Yak could survive
Mt. Everest is too steep for the wild yak to navigate on its hills and the rocks doesnt have grass for them to feed up on. ADded by Will Cate. in other words. it can;t.
Yak survive and perform adequately if the annual mean temperature is below 5oC and the average in the hottest month is not above 13oC. They can also survive satisfactorily at ambient temperatures down to -40oC. Altitude, as such, is of lesser importance. The further north (of the equator) yak live, the lower, in general, the altitude at which they are found. Yak in North America and in animal and zoological parks in several parts of the world, may again have re-adapted, over time, to life in these, for them, non-normal situations. Yak cope with cold by conserving heat, rather than by generating it - which would require food that may not be available. Heat conservation is effected by a compact conformation, a thick fleece of coarse outer hair and an undercoat of fine down. The proportion of down in the coat increases greatly before the onset of winter. Young calves have a fleece composed exclusively of down fibre. Normally, yak accumulate a layer of subcutaneous fat prior to winter. This also helps heat conservation and provides an energy reserve. The skin is relatively thick. It contains sweat glands, though for the most part, these are not functional. This is one reason why yak are intolerant of high ambient temperature.
yak do not live in farms the live out in the wild because once there done hybronating they live in the tiaga and once they live in the tiaga the will start to loose fur in the summer becuse it is to hot
Yaks prefer grassy plains, they cannot survive in coniferous forests
