The beast animal of higher altitudes is no longer visible in Shimla.
when i was doing a search on these animals i got2 know that they were sent back to higher altitudes whcih were brought to shimla for tourist attraction.
Thanks to objections by animal lovers and veterinarians, yaks will no longer huff and puff in the heat and on the asphalted roads of this Himalayan resort.
In October last year, three of these high altitude animals were introduced by civic officials in downtown Shimla for tourist rides. There were even plans to bring in more of the hairy and shaggy beasts to ferry more visitors.
But animal activists raised objections, saying the high mountain animals were not meant to be at such low altitudes.
'Yaks don't feel at home below 2,800 metres altitude, and Shimla is only at 2,150 metres which could be disastrous for them,' click here for more details.
