A herd of around 60 Tibetan antelopes were witnessed crossing the Qumar River, one of the three sources of the Yangtze River, in northwest China's Qinghai Province on Saturday.  

Each year from May to July, herds of pregnant female antelopes migrate hundreds of kilometers from Sanjiangyuan in Qinghai, Altun Mountains in Xinjiang and Qiangtang in Xizang to the Zonag Lake in Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve, a World Heritage Site on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. After giving birth to their young, the female Tibetan antelopes will return to their original habitat with their offspring in July and August.
