Yaks

Yes, yaks are not native to Kenya. They are primarily found in the mountainous regions of Central and East Asia, such as Tibet and Mongolia.

Parthenogenesis diploid produces offspring with two sets of chromosomes, similar to sexual reproduction, resulting in genetic variation. Parthenogenesis haploid produces offspring with only one set of chromosomes, leading to clones of the mother with no genetic diversity.

Southwest and Central Asia are known as crossroads due to their strategic location at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa, making them hubs for trade, cultural exchange, and migration throughout history. This region has been a meeting point for different civilizations, religions, and ethnic groups, leading to a diverse and dynamic cultural landscape.

The traditional way of life in the northern region of Central Asia often revolved around nomadic pastoralism, where people herded livestock such as horses, sheep, and goats. They lived in yurts, portable round tents, and moved their herds seasonally to find grazing land. This way of life allowed them to adapt to the harsh climate and vast landscapes of the region.

In Tibetan, yak is called "གཡག་" (gyag). In Chinese, it is called "牦牛" (máo niú). In Nepali, it is called "जात्री" (jātrī).

The same word in French as in English - Yak

Tibetan, the word gyag refers only to the male of the species; a female is a dri or nak. In most languages which borrowed the word, including English, yak is usually used for both sexes.

The word "yak" comes from Tibetan.

The scientific name of Yak is Bos grunniens

The Mongolian word for female yak is "us."

Yaks have horns as a means of defense against predators and for competing with other yaks, mainly during mating season. The horns also serve as a tool to help them dig through snow to access food during harsh winter conditions.

Yaks are not buffalos, in scientific classification they are classed as mammals and belong to the bovidae family. After that there are sufficient differences to make each animal belong to its own scientific group

Yes. Farmers raising Yaks in Tibet depend upon Yak milk for a portion of their diet.

A yak's predators include wolves, tigers and bears.

Yaks are located near the gates of the village on Neitiznot. To get there talk to Maria Gunnars on the northernmost dock in Relleka. You need to have at least gotten to the Neitiznot part of The Fremminik Isles.

They are the "same" by the fact that they belong in the same Family being Bovidae. However, more specifically, yaks and water buffalo are not the same, actually. Yak and water buffalo are two distinct species of bovids. One lives in Nepal and Mongolia, the other is found in the south and east regions of Asia, like in Taiwan and India.

The wild yak was once numerous and widespread on the entire Tibetan plateau north of the Himalayas. Currently it is found in remote areas of the Tibetan plateau and adjacent highlands, including Gansu Province, China, with a few having been observed in the Chang Chenmo Valley of Ladakh (eastern Kashmir, India).

Yaks are very hairy creatures, with very long hair and a large hump over their shoulders. Water buffalo have very short hair, long horns that splay towards their back, and quite a bit larger than a yak. Water buffalo are found in the tropics, whereas yaks are found in the cold mountainous regions of Nepal and Mongolia.
