Photos and text offer insights into Xinjiang region

In the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in northwestern China, wolves use their two rear legs to grab their tails and urinate on them.

They then flick their soaked tails toward hunters, surprising their human predators so they can make a hasty escape.

This is just one of the stories described in Xinjiang: Vast and Varied, or Weiguan Xinjiang, a new book published by the Commercial Press.
