Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Triplet calves were born in Arkhangai aimag on the first day of Mongolian Tsagaan Sar, February 27, reports MONTSAME correspondent in the province.

The domestic yak herd of J.Tumurbaatar whose winter camp is situated in ‘Tooroit’, Ikh Tamir soum of Arkhangai aimag thus welcomed triplets just in time for the celebration of Tsagaan Sar, one of the biggest traditional festivals of Mongolia.  

Interestingly, the mother yak is called ‘Twin’ and is black in color. Two of the triplets are male and blue in color whereas the last one is female and black in color.

It is not very uncommon for a cow to produce twin calves, but triplets are decidedly rare, wrote J.Hered in his article titled ‘Triplet Calves’.
