Gobi-Altai /MONTSAME/ One of the most endangered species, Mazaalai or gobi bear was found among a herd of sheep grazing in Bayanbuural bagh, Gobi-Altai aimag on June 7, previously reported by MONTSAME correspondent in Gobi-Altai aimag.

Last night around 2am, a working group comprised of officials from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and Mazaalai Foundation returned the Mazaalai to Southern Gobi of Altai or the Great Gobi ‘A’ strictly protected area.

Expert of the Environment and Tourism Department of Gobi-Altai aimag said that Mazaalai left his home because Southern Gobi of Altai faces drought this summer. Young Mazaalai aged three to four years old traveled 300 km from Southern Gobi of Altai searching for food.
