Yak is found primarily in south Central Asia, Mongolia, and Russia. At adult age, it stands at roughly 6 ft (2 m) tall, and can weigh up to 1,000 kg. Its shaggy coat can be brown or black although there are some gold-coated Himalayan yaks, this is exceedingly rare. Both sexes of this creature boast a pair of tall, sharp horns on their heads. The male’s horns can grow to lengths of up to 3.4 ft (1.04 m). The female’s horns are naturally somewhat shorter. These are used for digging under ice and snow. The yak’s diet consists mainly of lichens, mosses, and various other grasses. It has four stomachs to aid in digestion and cud-chewing, as well as keeping them warm. Because of the habitat in which the yaks live, it can be difficult to find adequate vegetation to feed on
