I did not realize that the San Diego Zoo still had Mishmi takins. How many animals are there currently and where did the current founder stock come from? I actually remember Mishmi takin being on-exhibit during my childhood visits in the 1990s and early 2000s.
@UngulateNerd92 - They do still have a small herd of Mishmi takin. I think six or so individuals? They imported a male from Germany alongside the golden takin herd, and the females came from the private sector.
@UngulateNerd92 - They have been breeding them, yes. I believe they started with 1.2, like with the golden takin. Iron Mountain would probably be a good guess. They’ve maintained a sizable herd for years and years.
