Gaur
Gaur, (Bos Gauras ),
one of several species of wild cattle, family Bovidae (order
Artiodactyla). The gaur lives in small herds in the mountain forests of
India, Southeast Aisa , and the Malay peninsula.
Larger than any other wild cattle, it attains a shoulder height of 1.8 m
(6 feet) or more. It is heavy-bodied and typically blue-eyed and has
curving horns, a high ridge on the forepart of the back, and white
“stockings” on the legs. Bulls are dark brown or blackish, cows and
young reddish brown. Greatly reduced in numbers, gaurs survive only in
scattered herds in India, Myanmar (Burma), West Malaysia , and Thailand.
