According to legend, when Lama Drukpa Kunley (called "the divine madman") visited Bhutan in the 15th century, the people urged the lama to perform a miracle. The saint demanded that he first be served a whole cow and a goat for lunch. He devoured these with relish and left only bones. After letting out a large and satisfied burp, he took the goat's head and stuck it onto the bones of the cow. And then with a snap of his fingers, he commanded the strange beast to rise up and graze on the mountainside. To the astonishment of the people the animal arose and ran up to the meadows to graze. This animal came to be known as the dong gyem tsey (takin) and to this day, these animals can be seen grazing on the mountainsides of Bhutan. The Takin continues to befuddle taxonomists. Unable to relate it to any other animal, they have put it in a category by itself: budorcas taxicolor.
