The takin (Budorcas taxicolor), also called cattle chamois or gnu goat, is a goat-antelope found in the eastern Himalayas. The takin is the national animal of Bhutan.

I found this picture in an old encyclopedia that I am recycling and I will
type out the info that is written. This article was written by George B.
Schaller Here it goes
TAKINS
What creature has the bulky humped body of a brown bear, the sloping
hindquarters of a spotted hyena, the legs of a cow, the broad flat tail of a
goat, the knobby horns of a wildebeest, and the face of a moose with mumps?
The takin, of course. If, as has been said the camel resembles an animal
designed by a committee, then the takin looks like an animal assembled by the
same committee from spare parts.
In addition to its peculiar appearance, it comes in three basic color models.
In the western part of its range, from Bhutan eastward along the slopes of
the Himalaya Mountains to Burma and into China, the animal is dark brown.
farther east mainly along the edge of the Tibetan plateau in China's Sichuan
province, it is straw--colored with splotches of gray-black on its legs,
flanks, back and rump. and in the Qinling Mountains of China's Shanxi
province, it is golden.
These are not my words but the words of George B. Schaller. Hope this is the
info you were seeking.
