- Chances are, you might not have even heard of a Sichuan takin (rhymes with rockin') before. They're a rare species native to a small area of the Himalayas, and uncommon in American zoos.
But they're one of our favorite animals to work with at the Zoo! Our keepers have done an amazing job training our small herd, and we've had great success with breeding them here as well. Join Keeper Erin to learn what it takes to train a takin and why it matters!
So adorable ❤️
Interesting video.
They look like big capybara's!
They are ungulates not rodents
A takin looks like a moose-goat hybrid
However, the closest living relative of the Takin (Budorcas taxicolor) is actually the Muskox (Ovibos moschatus), they are both the only surviving members of the tribe Ovibovini, which actually belongs to the subfamily Ovibovinae, which happens to group the tribe Ovibovini with the tribes Hemitragini (Tahrs) and Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat), also goats and moose cannot interbreed, goats belong to the subfamily Caprinae along with the sheep, while the moose is a deer, both the subfamilies Ovibovinae and Caprinae belong to the family Bovidae, but within Bovidae, the subfamilies Ovibovinae and Caprinae are not closely related, Ovibovinae (Muskox, Takin, Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, Mountain Goat, and Tahrs) forms a clade with the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeests, Wildebeests, Hirola, and Tsessebes), while Caprinae (Goats and Sheep) forms a clade with the subfamilies Antilopinae (Gazelles and True Antelope), Cephalophinae (Duikers), and Neotraginae (Dwarf Antelope), a deer is any ungulate that belongs to the family Cervidae.
💕💕✌🏻
They are quite big
Like an ancient mountain goat the look similar to the large white mountain goats
The Takin (Budorcas taxicolor) is the only extant species of the genus Budorcas, surprisingly, its closest living relative is the Muskox (Ovibos moschatus), they are both the only surviving species of the tribe Ovibovini, which is one of three tribes that now belong to the subfamily Ovibovinae, the others being the tribes Hemitragini (Tahrs) and Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat), Ovibovinae is a subfamily of bovids that lives mostly in cold-climate habitats, there are three major tribes within the subfamily Ovibovinae, which are Hemitragini (Tahrs (contains 3 genera: Arabitragus, Nilgiritragus, and Hemitragus)), Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat (divided into two subtribes: Naemorhedina (Gorals and Serows (contains 2 genera: Capricornis and Naemorhedus)) and Rupicaprina (Chamoises and Mountain Goat (contains 2 genera: Rupicapra and Oreamnos))), and Ovibovini (Muskox and Takin (contains 2 genera: Budorcas and Ovibos)), Ovibovinae is hinted to be most closely related to the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeest, Wildebeests, Tsessebe, Topi, Korrigum, Tiang, Bontebok, Blesbok, and Hirola) based on similar characteristics to both subfamilies.

Shame on you! Those animals are imprisoned for your entertainment. Human beings-the dominant species on the planet? We ruin everything. Release them immediately.
I would love to raise them on a farm
