FOUR captive-bred Tibetan antelopes gave birth to four calves at the Tibetan Antelope Rescue Center this month, an official from a nature reserve near Hol Xil Lake in Qinghai Province said yesterday.
The endangered Tibetan antelope - under first-class state protection in China - largely inhabits northwest China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Pregnant Tibetan antelopes migrate to Hol Xil Lake every June and July to give birth.
Xiao Penghu, deputy chief of the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve Administration, said the four calves were born between July 10 and 16.
"This is the fifth time captive-bred Tibetan antelopes have given birth at our center," Xiao said.
The world's first Tibetan antelope bred in captivity successfully gave birth at the center in 2006.
According to Xiao, 339 wild animals, including 224 Tibetan antelopes have been bred, nursed and given medical treatment at the center since its establishment in 2003.
