Wild ass chase
Wild ass gather on the grasslands around the lakes. By August, the mares have dropped their foals and, almost at once, they come on heat. Stallions taste the air and the hills echo to the thundering hooves of ardent chases. Wild ass span the climatic extremes of the subcontinent, from 50 degrees in the hot desert of the Rann of Kutch to minus 40 here in the cold desert of Ladakh. A stallion can be given the run around all day. As the shadows lengthen into evening, the mare finally yields.
