## Caption

We're takin bout #TongueOutTuesday. Takins have a very #NotableNose. The large, moose-like snout has big sinus cavities to warm up the air inhaled before it gets to the lungs. Without this adaptation, takins would lose a large amount of body heat just by breathing. This helps them survive the bitter cold of winter in the rugged Himalayan Mountains. #SizeableShnoz #AbsoluteUnit #TakinTakins #SanDiegoZoo 📷: Deric Wagner
