[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another picture taken at wildlife park "Parc Animalier La Reid" in the Ardennes in Belgium.
It was the first time for me to see Yak's in a wildlife park. Between the big one's there was only this one little baby-yak. He looked so cute, I just had to take his picture.

Here's some info wich I found on the internet:

The yak (Bos grunniens) is a long-haired humped domestic bovine found in Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region of south central Asia, as well as in Mongolia. In Tibetan, the word yak refers only to the male of the species; a female is a dri or nak. In most languages which borrowed the word, including English, however, yak is usually used for both sexes.

Wild yaks (subspecies B. g. mutus) stand about two meters tall at the shoulder. Domestic yaks are about half that height. Both types have long shaggy hair to insulate them from the cold. Wild yaks can be either brown or black. Domesticated ones can also be white. Both males and females have horns. The word Yak is also used to describe an irritating or disagreeable individual.

Hi Nel,
This is a nice photo with great sharpness and colors. I like how this little yak is looking at you and contrasting with the background. Well done.
Luc

Hello Nel,
He is a little cutie indeed! As far as I'm concerned he could pass for an ordinary ox anytime, but this guy seems to be more furry...
Well framed, and captured with good details in the fur coat, nicely blurred out background!
Greetings,
