Animals in the Natural World (animals from the 60s and 70s) Paige There are many wild animals within the Sherpa world. They range from small insects to large common leopards and yaks. The small insects are, in a way, sacred, and a devout Sherpa may try to save or move an insect from harms way. There are also small mammals such as weasels, mouse-hares, and also rats and mice. However, these animals are mostly known for their annoying behavior. Birds help Sherpa people know the timing of crops: when to plant, what weather is coming, and harvest. Cuckoos announce planting, snow finches indicate bad weather. Also, birds that live near Sherpa inhabitants are never hunted. Herbivores like musk deer and wild yak have a population that is kept in check by predators. This is important because too many herbivores would wipe out Sherpa crops. The Himalayan black bear is the largest living omnivore in their world, though they believe in the yeti, which is “extinct.” The predators of Sherpa: Snow leopard, Tibetan wolf, common leopard, and jackal. These animals can cause huge problems if their food supply runs low, eating domesticated yaks and sheep that belong to the Sherpa, causing most of these predators to be killed, which makes for too many herbivores. So, as you can see, the herbivores to predators world is an extremely delicate cycle.
