A short 1847 magazine article describing the grunting ox, or yak, of Tibet, with an engraving. It covers the animal's range, appearance, long hair, temperament, and its use by Tartar nomads for carrying loads, butter, and tents and ropes made from its hide. A second section describes the musk ox of North America as a comparable long-haired animal.
