Yaks

The yak is the king of Tibet. Yak meat, yak butter, yak milk, yak yarn, yak bone jewelry...I even had spaghetti with meat (yak) sauce. Although you may not think of Buddhists as carnivores, out of necessity, Tibetan Buddhists have traditionally eaten yak meat. Here is one pretty guy amongst the prayer flags at the Ganden monestary near Lhasa.
