GAUR 
(Bos gaums) 
The Gaur frequents the hilly country and occurs up to 6,000 feet, 
but is not found in the lowlands inhabited by the Water Buffalo. 
Though the tallest ox in the world, the Gaur is shy and inoffensive, not 
ferocious. However, having poor sight and hearing, it may charge 
suddenly, and solitary bulls are likely to be dangerous if unexpectedly 
disturbed. The range of the Gaur extends over the hilly sections of the 
Indian Peninsula, Burma and the Malay Peninsula.
