Takin

Species of artiodactyls

The takin (Budorcas taxicolor); is a large species of ungulate of the subfamily Caprinae found in the eastern Himalayas. It includes three subspecies, the Mishmi takin (B. t. taxicolor), the golden takin (B. t. bedfordi), and the Bhutan takin (B. t. whitei), and is closely related to the Tibetan (or Sichuan) takin (B. tibetana) 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).

From Wikipedia

The takin (Budorcas taxicolor); is a large species of ungulate of the subfamily Caprinae found in the eastern Himalayas. It includes three subspecies, the Mishmi takin (B. t. taxicolor), the golden takin (B. t. bedfordi), and the Bhutan takin (B. t. whitei), and is closely related to the Tibetan (or Sichuan) takin (B. tibetana) 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.
