Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/. Within the scope of the 800th anniversary
celebration of the Great Mongol Empire, the administration of
Ovorkhangai Aimag will organize a yak polo for foreign guests and
tourists. This high yielding animal considered as one of the rarest
animals in the world is bred in nine aimags of Mongolia. At present,
the number of yaks, which were about one million, is less than 450
thousand. A demo yak polo has successfully been conducted in the Aimag
with the purpose of increasing the number as well as productivities of
the yaks. Some foreign countries show great interest in yaks, which
live in mountainious region at least 1,800 meters above sea level.
North Korea and Bulgaria have purchased some yaks from Mongolia to
conduct surveys.
