A yak is a big, hairy cow. It lives in Asia.
Yaks are part of the cow family. Like cows, they have four skinny legs and big, round bodies. They also have long noses and horns on top of their head.
But a yak is much bigger than a cow. They are taller than a man! They are also as long as a small car.
There is one funny thing about yaks. They are much bigger than a milk cow, but they are just about as heavy
