In the morning and evening, hundreds or thousands of horses, sheep, and cows drink water at the "Yinma Bay", which is a spectacular scene. Here, you can feel the rich nomadic style of the Western Regions. The shepherd plays a tune, holds a sheep whip in his hand, and the shepherd dog follows sincerely. One person, one dog, a group of sheep. This leisurely nomadic life in the Western Regions has a unique flavor compared to our metropolis. Walking out of the reinforced concrete, you can feel the blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and fragrant flowers of the Western Regions. Why not enjoy it. Across from Yinma Bay is the habitat of the marmot.
The prairie otter, also known as the groundhog, grassland otter, hala, snow pig, and quwa (Tibetan), was listed on the Red List of Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2010. It is the largest species in the squirrel family and is a terrestrial and burrowing herbivorous and hibernating wild animal. They feed on the roots, stems, and leaves of grasses, sedges, and leguminous plants, as well as small animals. Mainly distributed in Russia, Central and Eastern European grasslands. The marmot is a social animal with multiple otters in one hole. Before leaving the hole, the adult marmot first looks out at the mound at the entrance of the hole to confirm that there is no danger, and then the young otters gradually leave the hole. After leaving the cave, there is always an adult marmot outside the cave responsible for "vigilance" work, standing upright on its hind legs, looking around, and immediately sounding an alarm when encountering disturbance, allowing the marmot outside the cave to hide inside. After the danger is relieved, the alarm otter will emit a sound again.
