The wilderness experience often involves animals other than humans. Such domestic animals as horses, mules, burros, llamas, elephants, camels, and yaks may be used for packing or pulling supplies, relieving hikers of this burden. Horses and mules are also ridden by trekkers. Dogs may accompany owners into the wilderness as companions, as trackers of game, or in the Arctic and Antarctic as primary draft animals. A cat may accompany a trek as a mascot or as a companion animal. Any of these animals may become injured or fatigued or may fall ill with a variety of ailments that require emergency treatment and management by trek personnel.
