About this book

Yaks are large, shaggy mammals specially adapted to survive in the cold, thin air of Asia's high mountains.

Yaks Book for Kids

YAKS! introduces young readers to these remarkable mountain animals through beautiful real photographs and engaging, easy-to-understand facts. Kids will discover how yaks live on high plateaus and rugged slopes, and how their bodies help them handle freezing temperatures, snow, wind, and low-oxygen environments.

Inside you'll discover:

  • How long outer hair and a thick woolly undercoat help yaks stay warm
  • How large lungs help yaks breathe in thin mountain air
  • Why broad hooves help them cross rocky slopes, snow, and rugged terrain
  • What yaks eat and how their specialized stomachs digest tough plants
  • How yak calves grow and stay close to their mothers

Readers will also discover the difference between wild and domestic yaks, how herds help protect animals as they graze, and why yaks have lived alongside people in Asia's high mountains for thousands of years. From carrying supplies across steep trails to providing milk, wool, and other useful materials, yaks are deeply connected to life in these harsh mountain regions.

This large 8.25" x 8.25" premium photo book uses beautiful full-color real photographs for an educational exploration of yak adaptations, mountain habitats, herds, calves, wild yaks, and domestication.
