Behavior and Survival of Yaks

During the summer, yaks move to higher ground to avoid the heat, followed by an old male. Snow leopards, needing to hunt every 10 days, stalk the yaks. Despite the yaks' keen senses, a leopard targets a young yak. The herd scatters, but the mother and another yak defend the calf, forcing the leopard to retreat. The herd then gathers around the young yak, showcasing their social nature.
