Mongolian nomads don't live a normal life like many other people. They live a nomadic life. This means
they move two or three times a year to look for new pastures - grasslands - for their cattle. The cattle
provide most of their needs: dairy products, meat,and clothing.
They live in a ger, their traditional circular tent. It keeps them cool in summer and warm in winter, even
when the temperature drops to -50°c. It can be put up then taken down and transported.
For most of the year, they are surrounded by vast pastures, rivers and mountains. They see few people
from the outside World. When they are small, they play on their land and with the animals. The horse is
their best friend. Any nomadic child can ride a horse. They learn from an early age to help in the family,
from household chores to heavier work like herding the cattle. They also learn to be brave.
