Takin

DateWednesday, July 2, 2014 at 2:36PM
The "takin", or gnu-goat (Budorcas taxicolor Hodgson), a sheep relative from the Eastern Himalayas, is one of the most Dr. Suess-like animals I've ever seen. I met this guy at the National Kandawgyi Botanical Garden in Pyin Oo Lwin (see Kandawgyi). Seems pretty docile, but I was told that this one killed his father in a rutting fight over a mate. Yikes. [NOTE: The takin is the national animal of Bhutan].
