Mishmi takin vocalising

I had never heard a takin previously, but I enjoyed the short machine gun bursts of deep belches. They amused passing children too. This guy looks as if he would benefit from a bit of chiropody. Paignton, 23rd February 2016.

Yesterday (13th March) I was pleased to see that this takin's front hooves had been trimmed.

Maybe they read your comment above- or maybe it was due anyway...

Re Vocalisations- maybe he's in rut- watch out other male Takin....

I would be surprised, and disappointed, if the keepers at Paignton needed prompting from me.

I've often heard them vocalising. It's an interesting sound!
