The gaur is a wild bovine native to South and Southeast Asia. In fact, it’s the largest wild bovine (cattle species) in the world. Their numbers have been greatly reduced in recent decades and they are considered vulnerable to extinction (although in protected areas their numbers are now increasing). I photographed this one in India a few years back in Kanha National Park. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 125mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/160th of a second.

Wild cows couldn’t drag me away from this post.
