　　The Tibetan antelope, known in Tibetan as "zho" and also referred to as the "unicorn," is a large species of wildlife native to the northern Tibetan Plateau. Its body is covered in brown fur, while the belly, chest, and inner sides of the legs are white. Male antelopes have straight, segmented horns resembling bamboo joints. What fascinates people most is their "discipline": no matter when they migrate or run, adults always lead, young adults follow at the back, moving in an orderly line without ever getting out of sequence. When resting, they mostly dig small pits in the ground with their hooves and lie within them. The males' long, pointed horns stick out from the pits, giving the distant impression of small trees sprouting from the earth.
