EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the mesmerizing sight of a Takin, also known as a Cattle chamois or Gnu goat, gracefully descending from rugged rocks at London Zoo in 1928. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the extraordinary agility and strength of this unique creature. The Takin is seen here in full length, showcasing its magnificent physique and distinctive features. With its powerful hooves gripping onto the rocky terrain, it navigates down with ease, displaying an incredible sense of balance. Its side view reveals the intricate details of its muscular body and majestic horns. This historical snapshot not only highlights the beauty of these hoofed mammals but also serves as a reminder of their vulnerable status in today's world. As part of the bovidae family and caprinae subfamily, Takins face numerous threats to their population due to habitat loss and hunting. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable moment captured by Bond for us to admire generations later. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders within the confines of London Zoo. This photograph stands as a testament to both human curiosity towards wildlife and our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for future generations.
