Kiang — size comparison — facts and sources

The kiang is a wild ass of the Tibetan plateaus. It has a reddish back, white underparts and an upright mane. The summer coat is redder; winter hair grows longer and darker, protecting against cold and strong winds.

It eats grasses, herbs, leaves and twigs, moving between pastures whose availability changes with snow and season. Herd membership varies, including temporary male groups. Foals follow their mothers during travel and feeding.
