Question #65

•Myths say this strange looking animal X was created by a Buddhist monk X at a mountainous village in Y. X ate a cow and a goat at the village. Urged by his followers to perform a miracle, he joined the head of a goat to the bones of the cow and created this divine animal.

•The myth gave this animal the status of the national animal of Y.

•There are four subspecies: A, B, C and Y.

•A recent census estimated the number of the A subspecies to be at only 1000. Its divine association did not protect it from hunters who kill it for its delicious meat.

Solve for X, Y and A. What are the other two subspecies?
