There have been some animals that have been to Everest which includes Himalayan Tahr, red panda, Himalayan goral, Himalayan bear and snow leopard.

Snow leopards are the native to the mountains as they are large cats which are in the wild world.

There is a mountain higher than Everest which is Mauna Kea mountain that is the tallest mountain from base to peak at more than 33,500 feet.

Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii.

While it towers roughly 14,000 feet above the island, much of its height lies submerged below sea level.

From its base well underneath the Pacific to the summit, Mauna Kea measures in at 33,484 feet- over 4 thousand feet taller than Mt. Everest.

Mount Everest can be climbed by some people without oxygen although its not a good idea to do so.

Climbers have reached the summit of Mt. Everest without oxygen supplementation in spite of measurements at lower altitudes that suggest it to be impossible.

Sometime between 1 and 2 in the afternoon on May 8, 1978, Messner and Habeler achieved what was believed to be impossible—the first ascent of Mt.

Everest without oxygen. Messner described his feeling: "In my state of spiritual abstraction, I no longer belong to myself and to my eyesight.

The chance of a person dying on Mount Everest is around 5 percent which is a pretty small chance.

People who die on Mount Everest die because of lack of oxygen, falls, freezing to death, storms and avalanches and then some people die on Mount Everest as a result of other health issues.

Mount Everest is a very pretty sight but it's also a deadly climbing spot as well and you really need to be a very good experienced climber to hopefully make it up and down mount Everest without getting injured or dying.

As of the year 2020 there are about 200 to 300 bodies that are on Mount Everest.

When people are killed and die while climbing Mount Everest it can be very difficult and sometimes impossible to recover the bodies that do die while climbing Mount Everest.

There was a rescuer who did die while trying to recover a dead body on Mount Everest so it's not worth the risk to other life to recover a dead body.

If someone is just injured then it's worth it to try to save the person but for someone who is dead it's not worth someone else possibly dying trying to recover the body.

If I were to die on Mount Everest I would prefer my body stay there instead of being buried in a cemetery.

There's no way to know for sure on how many actual bodies are on Mount Everest but it's estimated to be between 200 to 300 dead bodies that are spread across the mountain on various routes.

Some of the dead bodies on Everest are buried in deep crevasses while others now rest in different places from where they died, due to moving glaciers, and a few have been intentionally moved.
