No. Yaks are found in Nepal, which is a country in East Asia, not Africa.
Yaks have a very thick fur coat that hangs down to their ankles.
What is the best way to preserve the yak?
Do just like with the American bison: treat them as a wild animal and yet raise them on a farm or ranch. Preserve them by only breeding yaks to yaks, never cross-breeding them.
And, create a movement to have a sanctuary or national park to keep these animals in the wild. They are also raised and used for beef and draft work in Nepal, so they are already being preserved there.
