Recently, in Huanghe Township, Maduo County, Qinghai Province, which is located at the source of the Yellow River, local herdsmen took close-up photos of a large-scale Tibetan wild donkey population for the first time.
Maduo, which means "the source of the Yellow River" in Tibetan, is located in the south of Qinghai Province, northwest of the Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, in the core hinterland of the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve. It is known as "the source of the Yellow River and the county of a thousand lakes". .
The Tibetan wild donkey is a national first-class protected animal in China. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a unique ungulate species that resembles a mule produced by a cross between a donkey and a horse. Because the tail is slightly like a horsetail, some people call it "wild horse" and live at 4000 meters. It is the only wild odd-hoofed animal on the plateau in the high-cold desert environment up to 5500 meters.
