A striking study of the London Zoo's rarest animal, the Takin, a curious half-cow, half-goat creature. No other Zoo has ever had a specimen of this interesting animal, and it is extremely unlikely that another will ever be brought out from Tibet, as it is regarded as sacred by the Tibetans, and it has been decreed that anyone shooting or catching one shall have both bands cut off. -Central Press photo.
