What are different breeds of yak?

Answer 1

There are several breeds of yak, primarily categorized into domestic and wild types. The domestic yak, known as Bos grunniens, is commonly found in the Himalayan region and is bred for its milk, meat, and wool. Wild yaks (Bos mutus) are larger and more robust, primarily inhabiting the mountainous areas of Tibet and are endangered. Other notable domestic breeds include the dwarf yak, which is smaller and adapted to harsher environments, and the hybrid yak, a cross between domestic yaks and cattle for improved productivity.
