Every year from late April to June, thousands of female Tibetan antelopes migrate from Tibet's Qiangtang Grassland, the Altun Shan National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, and Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, to come to Zonag Lake in Hoh Xil National Reserve in Qinghai province to give birth as a group of mothers. 

Tibetan antelopes are one of the three mammal migrations in the world, only second to Africa's gnus and North America's reindeer. 

International Union for Conservation of Nature announced that Tibetan antelopes moved from 'Endangered' to 'Near Threatened' on the IUCN Red List on September 4, 2016.
