Takins the fantastic beast of the Himalayas #shorts #takin #wildlife #aimalshorts
https://www.youtube.com/@HavePension-WillTravel HavePension-WillTravel 🌍✈️ | Travel for the Young at Heart Travel Vlog Meet the takin — one of the strangest and most wonderful animals of the Himalayas! 🐐🏔️ Often called a goat-antelope, the takin has a thick woolly coat, shiny black horns, and a very impressive nose. They may look a bit clumsy, but they’re incredibly sure-footed on steep mountain slopes. Takins are found in northern India, Bhutan, and parts of China, and they’re actually the national animal of Bhutan. Some people think they look like moose, but they’re not related at all! Sadly, takins are listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting. These beautiful animals were filmed at Kandawgyi Botanical Gardens in Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar.
