Wolves on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Wild wolves are photographed in Madoi County, northwest China’s Qinghai Province recently. Madoi means the source of the Yellow River in Tibetan and is the highest county in China, with an altitude of 4,260 meters. 

Wild wolves in such a large number show good sign of ecological recovery and improvement in the Sanjiangyuan area, the source of China’s three major rivers, i.e. the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River. 

As the second class national protected animal in China, wolves are sensitive in smell and hearing and are very good at running, and they are always depicted as "cruel wolves".
