The kiang is the largest of the wild asses. Kiangs are found on the Tibetan plateau, between the Himalayas in the south and the Kunlun Mountains in the north, with an average shoulder height of 140 cm.
They have a large head, with a blunt muzzle and a convex nose. A broad, dark chocolate-colored dorsal stripe extends from the mane to the end of the tail.
Kiangs inhabit alpine meadows and steppe country between 2,700 and 5,300 metres elevation. They prefer relatively flat plateaus, wide valleys, and low hills.
Like all equids, kiangs are herbivores, feeding on grasses and sedges, especially Stipa. They obtain most of their water from the plants they eat, or possibly from snow in winter.
