Yaks are animals of high altitudes,as they are native to Himalayan highlands.Normal altitude for yaks is 3500 meters and above and their body is adapted for that.They got larger lungs than other dary and higher number of red blood cells to absorb oxygen.However some dude in Vermont is succesfully farming yaks at lower altitudes.He has his own website and you may Google it with keyword vermont yak company.Thanks,safriz@gmail.com

How do yaks live?

Yaks live in the himalayans. Domesticated for centuries, the yak is still found living wild in some parts of its mountain range. With its long, shaggy coat, a yak can survive temperatures as low as - 40"aC (40"af). It grazes on whatever plants are available, including mosses and lichens and can use snow as a source of water.


How does a yak adapt to its environment?

Yaks have adapted to their high-altitude environments by developing thick fur to protect them from the cold and harsh weather conditions. They also have large lungs and efficient blood circulation to help them thrive in low-oxygen environments. Yaks are able to survive on tough, high-fiber vegetation that grows at high altitudes, making them well-suited to their habitats.


How do yaks live in mountains?

The wild yak was once numerous and widespread on the entire Tibetan plateau north of the Himalayas. Currently it is found in remote areas of the Tibetan plateau and adjacent highlands, including Gansu Province, China, with a few having been observed in the Chang Chenmo Valley of Ladakh (eastern Kashmir, India).


Do reptiles live on mt Everest?

Reptiles do not typically inhabit extreme environments like the high altitudes of Mount Everest. The cold temperatures, lack of vegetation, and low oxygen levels make it unsuitable for most reptiles to survive. Most reptiles are found in warmer climates at lower altitudes.

What is the altitude of various cloud types?

Cirrus clouds are found at high altitudes, typically above 20,000 feet. Cumulus clouds are often found at lower to middle altitudes, usually between 6,500 to 20,000 feet. Stratus clouds form at low altitudes, below 6,500 feet. Nimbostratus clouds can extend through a wide range of altitudes, from low to high, depending on the vertical development of the cloud system.
