Rangers save rare white Tibetan antelope calf

Wildlife rangers on patrol in the remote Changtang National Nature Reserve, in Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region, recently stumbled upon the first white Tibetan antelope calf ever found in the reserve.

High in the Himalayas, at nearly 5,000 meters above sea level, Tibetan antelope, along with their newborn calves, face a gauntlet of predators such as wolves and bears during their annual migration to their summer habitat. Staff at the Tsolungma Management Station play a vital role, conducting daily patrols, monitoring movements and setting up warning signs to protect the animals.

During a recent patrol, rangers found the shivering white calf by a river. They swiftly rescued the tiny creature, wrapped it in warm clothes and took it back to the station for care.
