This is a takin. The Takin is a goat like antelope from the Himalayas. The male like this gets a golden coat. It is the basis for Jason and the Golden Fleece.

This was taken with the BIGMOS handheld at F8/, ISO 400, 150mm and 1/32 sec. I am happy with the resulting IQ.

Pity I missed the horns off the top.
