Interesting Takins at Motithang Takins Preserve

Bhutan's National animal is Takin. Takin was created by a mad saint-Drukpa Kunley as per legends in 5th century. Its front portion is of goat and the body of cow. These animals are found in Motithang Takin Preserve. It was an amazing fact to know that these animals are docile and don't want to venture out even if set free. As a result, they got confined to a certain area leading to creation of Preserve in 2004.
