| Four mountaineers in the high steppes of northern Tibet and northeastern China have located the key calving ground of the chiru, a rare Tibetan antelope. |
| Its nearest relative in India is the chiru, which has certain points of resemblance. |
| Although far from uncommon, chiru are very wary, and consequently difficult to approach. |
| The chiru or Tibetan antelope is hunted for its pelt, which is used in making shahtoosh, an incredibly fine material used in shawls. |
| Only the moulted chiru wool was used in the weaving of shahtoosh. |
| Dr. Murie notices the inflation of the post-maxilla in the saiga, and states that a similar extension is to be found in the chiru. |
