Yak. These high-altitude bovids can be found around the Himalayas. They are well adapted for higher altitudes, having larger lungs and hearts! This increases its capacity to transport oxygen through the blood. Yaks have been domesticated for thousands of years and are used for their fatty milk, wool and for hauling. Fun fact: their wool is naturally odor resistant!
