Asian wildlife: Mongolian gazelles (Procapra gutturosa) in tall grass, Khentii, Mongolia. In the last light of the day we spotted a group of Mongolian gazelles. I decided to try and get close. Amazingly I got away with it... but it took some time of course. I got with 25 m or so while the animals continued to eat the tall grasses. I only had a thin glove liner on my right hand and I think it was about -25C (-13F) with a breeze... I can't remember my hand ever hurting so much when warming it back up. We made it back to the ger just before complete darkness... It was clear we had been pushing it a bit as a search party had gone out looking for us. Fortunately they returned about 15 minutes later and everyone was relieved.
