In the rolling Qinling Mountains, a golden creature nimbly walks on the precipitous cliffs. This is the takin, one of the world's rarest animals. The golden takin has a pair of twisted antlers resembling the wildebeest on the African savannah. The bulkiest can stand even two meters at the shoulder.
