11、高原上有数百万只藏羚羊。截止到 20世纪 90 年代，藏羚羊的数目下降到了大约 5 万只。原因很简单：藏羚羊的毛是世界上最昂贵的毛。它又软又轻又暖和，是高海拔地区动物赖以生存的理想皮毛。一条藏羚羊毛织成的披肩名为“沙图什”，即波斯语中的“众毛之王”，能卖到 5 000 美元。这对偷猎者来说利润是丰厚的。Often working at night，the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time21，leaving only the babies,whose wool is not worth22 so much23.The anima
