The yak is the shaggy-coated wild ox of Asia. There are not many places that are less pleasant to live in than the high, windswept plateaus of Tibet. The winters are bitterly cold and food is scarce.
Yet this bleak land, in which few other animals can endure, is the home of the yak. The wild yak may stand over 6 feet high at the shoulders and weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
Its thick, woolly hair may grown so long that it may even drag on the ground. Its heavy coat is good protection against the cold.
Despite its large size, the yak is as sure-footed as a goat on the sleep mountain-sides. Some yaks have been tamed.
Tibetan people depend on the yak for their meal, drink their pink milk, weave their long hair into ropes and cloth and use yaks for pack animals. Tamed yaks are sometimes called “grunting oxen” because they grunt when overloaded. – Dick Rogers

Hello. I noticed your blog title, “What is a Yak? Natural World of Living Things” does not really reflect the content of your internet site. When composing your website title, do you believe it’s best to write it for Search engine marketing or for your visitors? This is something I’ve been struggling with because I want great search rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my site visitors.

Thanks for your write-up. My spouse and i have usually observed that many people are needing to lose weight simply because wish to appear slim plus attractive. Nevertheless, they do not often realize that there are many benefits to losing weight also. Doctors declare that overweight people are afflicted with a variety of health conditions that can be perfectely attributed to their particular excess weight. The great news is that people who sadly are overweight and suffering from numerous diseases are able to reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by way of losing weight. You are able to see a gradual but notable improvement with health if even a slight amount of fat loss is obtained.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
