[edit] Plural of Yak
According to my dictionaries, the plural of yak is yaks, with yak as an acceptable alternative. We need to pick a plural for this article. If nobody jumps in with a compelling argument to the contrary, I'm going to make it "yaks." Gary D Robson 16:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Since nobody objected, the change has been made. Gary D Robson 22:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Yak Milk
No, it is not pink, it is yellowish black. It is kinda yellowish and black because they make up the colors of the gang [Latin Kings].
As cows milk color changes with food and time from calving(pinkish right after calving) this really should be confirmed from a yak hearder.
[edit] Size
Is the domestic yak really only about 1m tall at the shoulders? Apart from the obvious implications for agricultural usefulness, the ones in the photos certainly look much larger. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.8.12.78 (talk) 13:29, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Secretion?
This line: "They are insulated by dense, close, matted under-hair as well as their shaggy outer hair. [1] This secretion is used in traditional Nepalese medicine and impregnation" Seems to be missing something.
