Answer:

Ladakh is considered as home to the yak shaggy horned wild ox and snow leopard.

Ferdinand Stoliczka, an Austrian Czech palaeontologist who led a large-scale expedition to the area in the 1870s, was the first to study the flora and animals of Ladakh. Ladakh's wildlife shares many traits with Central Asia's fauna in general, and particularly with Tibetan Plateau species. The birds are an exception to this rule, as many of them travel to Ladakh during the summer to spend their time in the warmer regions of India. Ladakh boasts a surprisingly diverse range of birds for such a dry region; 318 different species have been identified there (Including 30 species not seen since 1960). High-altitude wetlands like Tso Moriri are home to many of these birds, where they also reproduce. Marmots (pheya), which are smaller animals, are widespread; you may occasionally see them from the road, despite the fact that they don't much differ in appearance from the marmots found in other mountainous regions of the world.

Answer:

The yak, shaggy-horned wild ox and the Tibetan antelope are found in Ladakh.

Explanation:

Ladakh is a union territory formed in 2019, along with Jammu and Kashmir. Bordered by Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Tibet, and parts of Pakistan, the union territory extends from the Siachen glacier in the Karakoram Range to the Great Himalayas in the north-south direction. With high altitudes, flora and fauna in Ladakh are very few. There are just about 1250 plant species here. It is home to the endangered Tibetan antelope. The animal is poached for its wool, the finest natural fibre known for its lightweight and warmth. Yaks are common in the mountainous regions of Ladakh and are used for carrying heavy loads across the hilly mountains. The wild ox is also a prominent species in these freezing, high altitudes.
