Description


Yes, I was quite taken with this takin, captured 3/13/10, at the Los Angeles Zoo - aka the Griffith Park Zoo - in Los Angeles, California. A ZOOM would be beyond cool. The takin, also called cattle chamois or gnu goat, is a goat-antelope found in the eastern Himalayas. It is the national animal of Bhutan. With horns like a wildebeest, a nose like a moose, a tail like a bear, and a body like a bison, the takin (rhymes with rockin') looks like a character from Dr. Seuss! This large, muscular, hoofed mammal is sometimes referred to as a goat antelope, because it has things in common with both goats and antelope. But the takin is most closely related to sheep and to the goat-like aoudad, or Barbary sheep, of North Africa. Source: www.animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/takin Adelis.

I can't say as I've ever heard of these, but what a handsome fellow this is; I like that compact body and lovely coat. Wonderful shots, Harry; you need to get to the zoo more often!
