Gaur
Bos gaurus
Adult gaurs inhabit forested hills, grasslands, and clearings across South and Southeast Asia. They are powerful wild cattle that graze and browse on grasses, leaves, bark, shoots, and fruit, often feeding in cooler parts of the day. When threatened, an adult can lower its head, paw the ground, charge, kick, or use its heavy curved horns. The gaur is the largest living wild bovine, with mature bulls sometimes towering over domestic cattle.
