yaks
Shaggy Himalayan cattle
Yaks are large, shaggy-haired bovines native to the high plateaus of Central Asia, especially Tibet.
They serve as pack animals and sources of milk, meat, and fiber in mountainous regions.
As a verb, to yak (also yack) is to talk persistently about trivial matters: They yakked for hours about nothing.
