A rare Takin was spotted searching for food in a village in northwestern China.

Video filmed by a villager in Nankang County in Gansu Province on July 2, shows a takin leisurely wandering around a village.

As it turns out, the takin had mistakenly entered the village, mainly in search of food. Considering the usually volatile temperament of isolated takin that could potentially cause harm to people, villagers wisely chose not to disturb it.

The animal occasionally stepped into cornfields or wandered into village courtyards. Finding no food after its exploration, the takin left the village unhurriedly.

According to reports, the takin is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and considered endangered in the country. It is threatened by overhunting and the destruction of its natural habitat.

Zhang Bo, the Party Branch Secretary of Dazhuang Village in Nianba Town, Kang County, reminded villagers that the takin is a first-class nationally protected animal. He issued an advisory to the community groups and village groups, urging everyone to protect the takin.

Currently, the local authorities have assigned specific personnel to monitor the situation. They will issue a warning to the villagers if they spot any wild animals.

近日，甘肃陇南康县碾坝镇大庄村，当地居民手机拍摄到一段国家一级保护动物羚牛，在村子里遛弯的视频。
画面中，一头身材壮硕的羚牛在村子里四处闲逛，毫不躲避。它通体金黄中泛着白色，头顶一对犄角，满身长毛，大大的眼睛圆鼓鼓的，看起来呆萌可爱。
据了解，羚牛误闯村庄，主要是在附近寻找食物，由于落单的羚牛通常性情暴躁，极易伤人，村民们并没有惊扰它，这只羚牛时而踏入玉米地，时而走进村庄院落，在觅食无果后便悠然的离开了村子。
康县碾坝镇大庄村党支部书记张波介绍，羚牛是国家一级保护动物，事发后第一时间编辑温馨提示发到社群、村群，让大家把羚牛保护起来。目前，当地已安排专人监测，一旦发现野生动物会向村民发出预警。
