Think I found a place for my Gemsboks of Arizona! They were
introduced from Africa, and go under the Family Bovidae.
They are actually antelopes; but live with zebras and gazelles.
They can weigh up to 450 pounds, and don't move as fast as
other antelopes. That's why they have the killer horns.
Interesting album, but all the yaks posted here should be removed if we stick to your introduction: this album is dedicated to [...] wild bovines.
Wild yaks are extremely rare outside the northern part of the Tibetan plateau, and all yaks featured in the album as domestic ones. So I would suggest two options:
a) remove the word "wild" from your description, so that we can post common yaks without hesitation, or
b) rename the album "wild Bovinae (Bovines)", remove all domestic yaks, and create a new "yak" album...
Cheers,
Bruno

Re: Yak Yak Yak...
Good point, but I'd have to figure out how to copy the page with all the attachments. Doing it manually would take a while but I may do that.
Do you want the yaks? If you create a yak album, I'll remove them from this one.

gemsboksWhy don't you make an antelope page? I'm guessing that the Kili crowd has posted pictures of other species.
I have a pronghorn antelope page but that is (ahem) a horse of a different color. Sui generis.
