Ladakh is rough area where only the fittest
animal and plant life survives. Although the environment is
harsh, it boasts of a bounty of wildlife, endemic to this
region. Its exotic highland flora springs up in the summer
and engulfs the landscape in various colour. The fearsome
predators include the elusive snow leopard, lynx, mighty
brown bear, Shanko or wolf, fox and wild dog. The herbivores
include the wild yak, the kiang, marmot, wild hare, niyan
marcopolo ship, shapo, bharal ibex marcher, goat and the
chirru, now almost hunted to extinction for its downy under
coat worth it weight in gold for the shatoosh shawls made
from it.
Ladakh is also home to some beautiful and rear birds like
the critically endangered black necked crane. Bar headed
geese, woodpeckers, ducks, partridges, barbets, kingfishers,
parakeets, swifts eagle, owls to name a few are some birds
commonly seen in Ladakh. This rich rather exclusive wildlife
however, is severely threatened by habitat loss and
poaching.
