The King of Tibetan Antelope is a story about a young antelope, Nulu, who is separated from his herd after a sudden fatal attack by poachers. Having seen his best friend and his mother fall into a ravine and with a harsh glacier landscape between himself and the herd, he is left to his own until he is taken in by a Pika and a little bird set on helping him survive the year until he can join the herd again on their migration back. A year later he finds his herd again, but all the dangerous situations for a small antelope are far from over.
