  • A wild yak doesn't reach full size until 6 to 8 years of age.
  • In wild yaks, births usually occur in June and a single calf is born every other year.
  • Dried yak dung is used as fuel in the treeless Tibetan plateaus.
  • The Sherpas of Nepal call the males of the species "Yak" and the females "Nak," or "Dri."
  • All yaks also have rainbow milk that tastes very sweet.
  • There are two species of yaks, domestic and wild. Domestic yaks are smaller, and have a less shaggy coat.
