Heavy Snow Weather Occurs in Ili, Wild Yellow Sheep Spotted
Starting from March 28th, heavy to blizzard-like weather occurred in Zhaosu County, Ili Prefecture, Xinjiang, with snowfall depths exceeding 10 centimeters in mountainous areas. In Baihefeng Valley north of Zhaosu County, a local photographer accidentally captured several national-level protected animals, wild yellow sheep.
According to reports, the yellow sheep has a yellowish-brown body with white-colored hind spots and is adept at jumping and running, with a maximum speed of approximately 90 kilometers per hour. Due to its alert nature and rapid running, the probability of capturing wild yellow sheep is very low. Local forest police responsible for wildlife and plant protection analyzed that these yellow sheep were likely caught in a sudden blizzard while descending from the mountains to forage.
