Flocks of argali sheep cross over mountains in NW China

Photographers have spotted flocks of argali sheep crossing over the mountains in Madoi County, northwest China's Qinghai Province.　

The argali sheep is a second-class national protected animal in China, which is a typical mountain animal. It prefers to live in the open, unpaved areas of the mountains and the rolling hills, and often moves in small groups.　

In recent years, Qinghai Province has taken a variety of measures to strengthen wildlife protection, which has led to an improvement in the living environment of wildlife and a rise in the number of populations.
