You know, I’m 52 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an up-close picture of yak that gave a good sense of scale. Those things are just cold-weather banthas.
Ever seen an Indian gaur? Fuckers are massive. They can get bigger than American bison.

Holy shit, that thing is a monster. They make cape buffalo look dainty and soft. :P
I wish I could find the video where I first saw a gaur. He’s just strolling down the road of this town, and everyone is clearing the streets. It was kind of awe inspiring.
Great video, but I don’t think that was it. It was much older, like camcorder footage from the 90s. That dog has huge balls though.
I just had the same realization. Look at the size of the yaks head!
I had a similar realization about bison recently too, those things are goddamned huge, bigger even than that mid-sized SUV. Apparently they can get up to 3000lbs in weight.
We camped in Yellowstone 30 years ago, and woke up to a bison in the campground, we all just decided to stay in our tent and wait it out, it wandered off, but left a buffalo chip the size of a x-large pizza at the entrance to our site.
It dried out by the 2nd or 3rd day so we could pick it up and toss it.
Nature is amazing
I had a similar experience camping with my family as a kid outside of Wichita Falls, I must’ve been 9 or 10 tops. I woke up one morning in the camper of my dad’s pickup instead of in my tent. Groggily trying to figure out what was going on I started to crawl out over the tailgate only to have my dad’s hand come around the corner, grab me by the face, and shove me back in, which was sufficient to wake me up enough to realize that there were 15-20 full-sized bison ambling through the camp. One of them even came within a couple feet of the truck. Needless to say I practically crapped my pants because I had never been anywhere near any kind of animal that big before.
That’s a Jim Henson creature that’s about to guide that dude through a maze. You can’t convince me it’s not.
Smell bad!
Rocks friends.
*sigh*
resets the board “Lemmy day without yak posts” back to zero.
Appa?
Yip yip!
Never seen a Yak before, now I know whst Appa was based off of and had to comment, beat me too it lol
Yaks are dope I’m jealous we don’t have em here
Bring on the yakposting
Lacking in Yaks? Don’t talk back.
Someone must have spent the better part of a week brushing that huge beast.
That dude is such a vibe, but the yak still steals the spotlight completely
I want to hide beneath its fur coat until it’s safe again.
Dude looks like he’s got a killer rendition of Secret Tunnel
Lacketty Yacks you say?
Don’t talk back
I absolutely agree. We need more Yaks on Lemmy
Unit
There has been a distinct lack of Yaks.
