The Kiang (Equus kiang) also known as the Tibetan Will Ass, is the largest species of all wild asses. They have a large head similar to the head of a horse, a blunt muzzle, and a chestnut coat that changes colors with the seasons. The Kiang is native to the Tibetan Plateau in India. They typically live in the mountains and grasslands. They feed on the grasses and short plants that are abundant to the region. They only occasionally drink water. The Kiang has a lifespan of about 20 years in the wild, 30 years in captivity, and is not in danger of extinction.
