In the Tibetan language, the Thorold's deer is called "Xiawa," which means "deer with white lips" in Chinese. Six years ago, the newborn Xiawa got injured in an accident. Then, Dondrup, a lama at Zhaga Monastery, adopted him. The seven-year-old deer has been with Dondrup for six years in Marong Village, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
Every summer, Xiawa spends days in high mountains. This is in their nature. It usually stays out for a few months. That makes Dondrup worried about him all day. Watch the video to see what's going on between Dondrup and Xiawa.
