Seems like I recall reading that there was something unique about this yak.
Maybe Richard Reynolds could add something.

I don’t see anything unusual about this yak. It seems to shedding its winter coat. This is no doubt a domesticated yak. This is the type seen in captivity here.

There is, however, a true wild yak that occurs on the remote and harsh Tibetan plateau. It is a bigger animal with a more impressive coat of hair. It is now a threatened animal because of widespread hunting.

Yaks are thought to have been domesticated in Central Asia during the first millennium BC.

No, what I meant was the circumstances with which the Cole Show got the animal.
Seems I recall reading that the U.S. Government was somehow involved which led to quite a bit of publicity.
