Takin(Budorcas taxicolor whitei) the national animal of Bhutan. Locally, the animal is revered as myth, its origin attributed to the folk hero Lam Drukpa Kunley-Divine madman. Legend has it that in the 16th century this Tantric master was asked by followers to perform a miracle at the end of a feast. Drukpa Kunley took a heap of cow and goat bones and reassembled them into a new animal-essentially grafting the head of a goat onto the body of a cow.
