Photo I took of a Sichuan Takin while visiting a friend in of all places..Ohio! This was on a trip to the Wilds Wildlife Conservation Center in Cumberland, Ohio. I thought this animal very peculiar looking so I snapped a photo since he was posing.

New one on me, thanks for sharing! Kinda looks like a cross of a mountain goat and a water buffalo, with a little aardvark thrown in, LOL!

Wikipedia says goat-antelope species who live in the bamboo forests with the panda. Males weigh 800 lbs and females weigh only 500 lbs... Cool pic of a stunning creature that I would not want to get close to!

I would not want to get to close to that creature. If he gets angry i image you would have been dead meat. Still it is a good photo. Take a break and shot flowers, it's safer. Great shot.

LOL - we were in a safari truck which is partially enclosed. We were about 20 feet away so I zoomed in a bit. We were close but not that close!

I don't know that I have ever seen one of these. Thanks for posting and the composition is really good.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
