Which animals live in the Himalayas?

The highest mountain peak of the world is Mount Everest with a height of 8850 m. Animal do not live on ice-covered mountain peaks and in the areas where even mountaineers can manage only with an oxygen flask. Animals that have adapted themselves to the rough conditions live below a height of 6000 m – goat-like animals such as Himalayan tahrs, ibexes and cashmere goats, the pikas with their small ears and the endangered snow leopard. Yaks are also found here, which the local people use for carrying loads.
