Bayankhongor, a southwestern Mongolian province, has been providing hay near wildlife habitats to help animals survive the extreme wintry weather. In Mongolia, such extreme weather conditions are known as Dzud.

Local officials have been putting out hay and feed for various wild animals such as gazelles and roe deer.

This harsh winter has become a big challenge not only for wild animals, but for herders, who have migrated with livestock for better grasslands elsewhere.
