Transhimalaya
The Trans himalaya (also spelled Trans-Himalaya), or "Gangdise – Nyenchen Tanglha range" ( zh, s=冈底斯-念青唐古拉山脉, p=Gāngdǐsī-Niànqīngtánggǔlā Shānmài), is a mountain range in China, India and Nepal, extending in a west–east direction parallel to the main Himalayan range. Located north of Yarlung Tsangpo river on the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, the Transhimalaya is composed of the Gangdise range to the west and the Nyenchen Tanglha range to the east. The name ''Transhimalaya'' was introduced by the Swedish geographer Sven Hedin in early 20th century. The Transhimalaya was described by the ''Columbia Lippincott Gazetteer'' in 1952 as an "ill-defined mountain area" with "no marked crest line or central alignment and no division by rivers." On more-modern maps the Kailas Range (Gangdise or Kang-to-sé Shan) in the west is shown as distinct from the Nyenchen Tanglha range in the east.

Himalayan Cat
The Himalayan (short for Himalayan Persian, or Colourpoint Persian as it is commonly referred to in Europe), is a breed or sub-breed of long-haired cat similar in type to the Persian cat, Persian, with the exception of its blue eyes and its point colouration, which were derived from crossing the Persian with the Siamese cat, Siamese. Some registries may classify the Himalayan as a long-haired sub-breed of Siamese, or a colourpoint sub-breed of Persian. The World Cat Federation has merged them with the Colorpoint Shorthair, Colourpoint Shorthair and Javanese cat, Javanese into a single breed, the Colourpoint. History Work to formally establish a breed with combined Persian and Siamese traits, explicitly for the cat fancy, began in the United States in the 1930s at Harvard University, under the term Siamese–Persian, and the results were published in the ''Journal of Heredity'' in 1936, First page is available online at http://jhered.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/pdf_extract/27/9/3 ...

Himalayan Guinea Pig
Guinea Pigs, also known as cavies (''Cavia porcellus''), have been domesticated since around (or cicra) 5000 BCE, leading to the development of a diverse array of breeds. These breeds exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics and serve various purposes. Some are show breeds, notable for their long, flowing hair, while others are laboratory breeds, used as model organisms in scientific research. The period from 1200 to 1532 CE, which coincides with the Spanish conquest of the Incan Empire, saw indigenous South Americans selectively breeding guinea pigs. This resulted in numerous landrace varieties of domestic guinea pigs, which have since become the foundation for some of the formal modern breeds. Early Andean varieties were primarily kept as livestock, agricultural stock for food, and efforts at improving cavy breeds (''cuy'') bred for food continue to the modern era, with entirely separate breeds that focus on size and disease resistance.
