Other common names for this species include Tibetan wild ass, khyang and gorkhar. Info-fun fact: Natural historian Chris Lavers points to travellers' tales of the kiang as one source of inspiration for the unicorn, first described in Indika by the Ancient Greek physician Ctesias Family: Equidae Habitat & Distribution: Kiangs are found on the Tibetan Plateau, between the Himalayas in the south and the Kunlun Mountains in the north. This restricts them almost entirely to China, but numbers up to 2500 to 3000 are found across the borders in the Ladakh and Sikkim regions of India, and smaller numbers along the northern frontier of Nepal. . #lehladakhdiaries #leh #lehladakh #kiang #wildasssanctuary #wildlifeart #wildgeography #wildthing #wildlifephotographer #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeindia #wildlifevideos #wildlifeofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #camping #naturephotography #natgeoyourshot #natgeo #nature_seekers #changthanwildlifesanctuary #wildass #largestwildasss #rockyfeet #explore (at Changthang Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdqXw7g30R/?igshid=5xj7ojx85li6
