You Can Pay Your Obeisance and Offer to the Buddha, the Largest Statue in the Country and Then Walk and Take a Glimpse of the Valley. Mini Zoo: is the Best Place to See Our National Animal, Takin, a Strange Looking Beast Which Some Say Looks like a Moose. Originally a Mini-zoo, It Was Converted Into a Preserve When It Was Discovered that the Animals Refrained from Inhabiting the Surrounding Forest Even When Set Free. the Reason for Declaring Takin as a National Animal of Bhutan is Attributed to a Legend of the Animal’s Creation in Bhutan in the 15th Century By Lama Drukpa Kuenley, Popularly Known as Divine Mad Man to the West.
