wild yak??

the map and signage at the zoo said Wild Yak. All of the other yaks there were plainly domestic yaks but I gather they [i]have[/i] had wild yaks at some point. This individual was huge! He dwarfed the other yaks there as you can see in this photo, and he looks like a wild yak to me. His tail was tipped pale though, so maybe he is not a full wild yak? Impressive beast nonetheless.

He could well be a domestic, but I've never seen one so big before. He really was huge.
 
There is no wild yak in China's zoos now, the only zoo used to have wild yaks is Beijing Zoo, whose wild yaks are attained from Qinghai.
