Every day monitoring the Takhi horses was accompanied by the bellowing of the male deer of Khustai and we loved it! We were even granted the vocalizations of at least 3 wolves on the first day of our visit. Priceless!

That sound (this is breeding time for this deer species) was both daunting & magical. It's a sound that will stay with me forever 💚 What is crazy is that those deer are on the other side of the valley. We were on the go (looking out for poachers) and so I am shooting this little snippet fully zoomed out at a great distance (and without a tripod which also explains the shakiness). But note how loud the bellowing is! 🔊
