Yak

:''This article is about the animal. See Yakovlev for the aircraft, Jeff Minter for the game designer or Yacc for the language parser generator.'' The yak (''Bos grunniens'') is a long-haired humped domestic bovine found in Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region of south central Asia. The word ''yak'' refers to the male of the species; a female is a ''dri'' or ''nak''. Wild yak (''Bos mutus'') stand about two meters tall at the shoulder. Domestic yak are about half that height. Both types have long shaggy hair to insulate them from the cold. Wild yak can be either brown or black. Domesticated ones can also be white. Yak milk is pink. Domesticated yak are kept primarily for their milk and meat; they are also used as beasts of burden, transporting goods across mountain passes for local farmers and traders as well as in support of climbing and trekking expeditions. Often the pack animals are actually crossbreeds of the yak and ''Bos taurus'' (common domestic cattle). These are known in Tibetan as ''dzo'' or ''dzopkyo''. It is a known fact that unlike the cows, the yak grunts rather than mooing. Owing to the fact that many of them are killed for food by the Tibetan people, the wild yak has become an endangered species. The term "yak" is also loosely used to describe someone, preferably a male, who has a tendency to be unreasonably silly in specific circumstances. This term was originally derived from the behavior displayed by Weston High School student Jacob Rubens. {| |[[Image:Yaks still provide the best way to plow fields in Tibet.jpg|200px|thumb|Yaks are used to plow fields in much of Asia.]] |[[Image:In Tibet, yaks are decorated and honored by the families they are part of.jpg|200px|thumb|In Tibet, yaks are decorated and honored by the families they are part of.]] |} Bovines Livestock

For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates.
