1. Takin

   The takin (Budorcas taxicolor; TAH-kin), also called cattle chamois or gnu goat, is a large species of ungulate of the subfamily Caprinae found in the eastern Himalayas. It includes four subspecies: the Mishmi takin (B. t. taxicolor), the golden takin (B. t. bedfordi), the Tibetan (or Sichuan) takin (B. t. tibetana), and the Bhutan takin (B. t. whitei). Whilst the takin has in the past been placed together with the muskox in the tribe Ovibovini, more recent mitochondrial research shows a closer relationship to Ovis (sheep). Its physical similarity to the muskox is therefore an example of convergent evolution. The takin is the national animal of Bhutan.

1. takin

   A takin is a large, muscular, hoofed mammal that is native to the Himalayas and parts of China. It is known for its thick, shaggy fur and curved horns, with a distinct appearance often compared to a mix between a goat and a moose. Species of takins are typically categorized under the genus Budorcas, and they are closely related to sheep and goats. Due to their high-altitude habitats, they have adapted to cold climates and rugged terrain.
