Even then, there are more cases of tigers being killed by Gaurs, than Gaurs being killed by tigers. The males of the species are extremely muscular, and powerful – able to generate enough power to be deadly to predators, humans, and other domestic cattle that are unfortunate enough to provoke them. They live in herds of around 30-50 members, and they gestate for around 280 days. Herds are typically led by the oldest female, while males are mostly nomads that wander in search of females. In the herd the young are typically protected fiercely, as the large adult females will form a circle with heads and horns facing outward to protect the young from possible attack by tigers. An unusual behavior observed when a tiger was sensed by a herd, and they formed in an ancient human military tac...

5. Physical Description The gaur is a large wild species related to cattle, buffaloes, bisons, and yaks. Its height at the shoulders reaches 5.6 to 7.2 feet (1.7-2.2 meters), and its body length from head to rump spans 8.2 to 10.8 feet (2.5-3.3 meters). A mature male gaur has a sleek, black coat, while the females and young ones have a brown coat. The horns of a male and female gaur alike are yellow in color with black tips, and they curve skywards. Horns can grow up to 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) in length. Unlike the common domestic cow, under their necks gaurs have a "dewlap" of skin, which stretches from their throats to their forelegs. As adults, they weigh between 1,543 and 2,204 pounds (700-1,000 kilograms). 4. Diet Green grass is the main staple food for the gaur. It does, however, also feed on flowers, cashews, teak bark, young bamboo shoots, herbs, shrubs, and fruits. It feeds by grazing on plains during the day, or by browsing on trees or woody herbs. The optimum feeding time for the gaur is in the early morning and evening. However, when their habitat becomes disturbed by human activities at these times, they may become more nocturnal, and feed during the nights instead. 3. Habitat and Range 2. Behavior A gaur herd can have 5 to 20 members. Each herd is led by a dominant bull, with several females in tow. Younger bulls cluster themselves in bachelor groups, but very old bulls lead solitary lives. Each herd can have a home range of 30 square miles. When threatened...

From Mythical Beasts to Endangered Species: The Fascinating Story of the Gaur Deep in the dense and rugged forests of India, a majestic creature roams, a true symbol of strength and resilience – the gaur, also known as the Indian bison. Towering at nearly seven feet tall (over 2 meters) and weighing up to 1,500 kg (over 3,300 pounds), the gaur is a formidable sight to behold. Its dark brown coat shimmers in the dappled sunlight as it moves gracefully through the undergrowth, its sharp horns and muscular frame a testament to its power and dominance in the animal kingdom. But beyond its imposing presence, the gaur has a fascinating story to tell, one that speaks to the delicate balance between man and nature and the critical need for conservation efforts to protect this magnificent species. Join us as we explore the world of the gaur and uncover the secrets of this incredible animal. The gaur, also known as the Indian bison, is a magnificent and imposing species that roams the dense and rugged forests of India and Southeast Asia. It is the largest of all wild cattle species, towering at nearly six feet tall at the shoulder and weighing up to 1.5 tons. Its dark brown coat shimmers in the sunlight as it moves gracefully through the undergrowth, and its sharp horns and muscular frame are a testament to its power and dominance in the animal kingdom.

gayal, ( Bos gaurus frontalis), also called mithan, a subspecies of the Smaller than the gaur and with shorter legs, the gayal stands 140–160 cm (55–63 inches) at the shoulder. Bulls weigh up to a ton, 20–25 percent more than cows. The gayal lacks the gaur’s massive shoulder hump, and its skull is shorter, wider, and flatter; the horns of both sexes protrude from the sides of the head and are thicker, but shorter, than those of the gaur. A double dewlap at the chin and throat is well developed. Bulls are black and females brown-black; both have white stockings. Some gayals are piebald, and even white, as the result of hybridizing with
