	Mongolia 1997 Hangal Soum These animals were captured in the summer and fall of 1997 by a colleague who was working on a housing project in Bulgan Aimag. Out of curiousity he would occasionally see what animals were in the area, but these animals were not examined for parasites. This locality was within the Orkhon-Selenge river basin. Habitats included mountain steppe and riparian zones. The forests in the area consisted of Larch and Birch with a shrub understory, while the open steppe areas were heavily overgrazed.
