The only creatures that live permanently on Mt. Everest are jumping spiders. Jumping spiders lurk in nooks and crannies on the slopes of Everest at a height of 6,700 meters (22,000 ft), making them one of the Earth's highest permanent dwellers. Animals such as the snow leopard, Himalayan tahr (a goat-like species), and Himalayan yak may be found below an elevation of 6,000 meters.
