YAK
It is a bovid animal, artiodactyl mammals whose main characteristic is that of having a strictly herbivorous feeding, of great size, provided with much wool that serves to subsist in very cold climates. Its longevity is 23 years.
He lives naturally in the mountains of Asia and the Himalayas. It is currently domesticated by humans, but wild animals are also found outdoors.
The wild Yak is of greater magnitude that the domesticated one, being able to measure up to two meters and reach an extraordinary weight of 1.00 kilos. Also has horns of about 90 centimeters, which serve to defend themselves when they feel threatened by their surroundings, these usually grow backwards. In Asian communities these bunches are often used to make containers for milk, hence the animal is endangered by constant hunting.
A great difference that they have with the other cattle is that it has short legs and large hooves, which are ideal to run smoothly in the icy hills of the Himalayas.
It is a very admired species because of the strength it shows to perform in harsh environments. Over the decades, this cattle has become a great ally for rural settlers in Asia such as Tibet.
