Tibetan White Yak: The snow white yak is the rarest colour phase of yak in the world. In China and Tibet they estimate their numbers to be around 3% of the population, with the vast majority of those residing in Tianzhu Tibet, where almost all of their yaks are white!
The Tibetan white yak is a majestic creature that thrives at the highest altitudes and looks like something from Sesame Street.
