2008年北京奥运会的吉祥物将于11月12日宣布。目前，在北京奥运会吉祥物竞选中，藏羚羊的支持率位居前列。

The official mascot1 for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be announced on November12th, and the Tibetan Antelope2 is recognized as the best choice.

Cega, director of the Hol Xil Nature Reserve Administration in northwest China's Qinghai Province, said Friday. 

The animal is now leading the campaign according to the latest internet survey.

Besides the Tibetan Antelope, other candidates include the giant panda, the Chinese tiger, the golden monkey and the red-crowned crane.

The Tibetan Antelope lives in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau at an altitude between 4,000 and 5,500 meters above the sea level. Its speed can reach as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.

The announcement of the mascot has been delayed over again for the fierce competition among the candidates of the mascot and the modification3 of the designs created for those animals.
