Khunjerab National Park (Siberian IBEX)

Khunjerab National Park, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) at Khunjerab Sar.
The primary purpose of this park was to provide protection to the endangered Marco Polo sheep, which is only found in this area in Pakistan. 
The park is also famous for its snow leopards. Some reports say that it might contain the highest density of these beautiful cats in the total Himalayan ecosystem, which is the natural habitat of these cats. Over 2,000 Siberian ibex, widely distributed and abundant in the park but absent from neighboring China, are also present here.
Feral or semi-feral animals especially domestic yaks can be seen roaming in the park.
