Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands, rocky slopes, and arid plains of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding ranges (China, Nepal, Bhutan, India).

When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (spring/summer) at high elevations.
This species is incredibly hardy, often enduring temperatures well below freezing in its high-altitude habitat.
