Movies: Mountain Patrol -- what the hell is Tibetan Antelope?

I got an invitation to go see a free screening of a film called Mountain Patrol in Santa Monica. I am so excited to go see a foreign film movie about the endanger species called Tibetan antelope. Mountain Patrol is about Kekexili, the largest animal reserve in China, is home to many rare species, including the Tibetan antelope.

Prized for its skin that is used in making luxurious, albeit illegal, shatoosh scarves, the Tibetan Antelope's numbers have been dwindling drastically in the past 20 years as poachers slaughter the animals, often hundreds at a time. In the 1990s local Tibetans formed a volunteer patrol to try and stop the illegal poaching and sometimes at the cost of their own lives.
