Two young affectionate Takin
The takin, also called cattle chamois or gnu goat, is a goat-antelope found in the eastern Himalayas.
Mitochondrial research shows the takin are related to sheep; its similarity to the muskox is an example of convergent evolution.
The takin is the national animal of Bhutan.
