The takin, which may be compared in See also:size to a See also:Kerry cow, is a clumsily built See also:brute with yellowish-See also:- BROWN

white-tailed See also:gnu. Its nearest relatives appear to be the serows of the See also:outer See also:Himalaya and the See also:Malay countries, which are in many respects intermediate between goats and antelopes, but it is not improbably also related to the See also:musk-ox (q.v.). As it lacks the thick woolly coat of the two Tibetan antelopes known as the See also:chiru and the See also:goa, there can be little doubt that it inhabits a See also:country with a less severe See also:climate than that of the Central Tibetan See also:plateau, and it is probably a native of the more or less wooded districts of comparatively See also:low See also:elevation forming the outskirts of Tibet. It is remarkable for the shortness of the See also:cannon-bones of the legs, in which it resembles the Rocky See also:Mountain See also:goat.
