Ah... beautiful banteng... one of my favourite animals to film int the Thai forests. You can see more banteng footage from Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary here...... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c_dBHlht5hU.html
I really love the gaurs. They're so majestic creatures. Salt marsh is a place where all wildlife come for minerals. It's like insulated land the predators even ceased hunting here.
You are correct, both species are classified within the genus Bibos, which also contains the kouprey, Bibos is a genus of cattle native to Southern Asia, there are three extant species within this genus, the Kouprey (Bibos sauveli), the Banteng (Bibos javanicus (cladistically including the Bali Cattle (Bibos javanicus domesticus))), and the Gaur (Bibos gaurus (cladistically including the Gayal/Mithun (Bibos gaurus frontalis))), it is known that the Gaur (Bibos gaurus) is the type species of this genus, Bibos is also hinted to be the most basal extant genus of true cattle (subtribe Bovina).
Give me the largest 20000 himalaya elephants , I need to handle them to qualified to buy. They all must have the Long strong begs Legs check and young tusks.
How this two similar species Banteng and Gaur coexist in the same environment. I reckon they occupy similar niche. Makes me wonder how a few centuries ago auroch and wisent coexisted in European forests
I am red/green colourblind, I'm told this is the most common form of colourblindness. The red text against the mottled forest floor is extremely difficult to read.
The best way to protect big game is to allow hunting . Then they are worth lots of money . That gives local governments reason to protect but manage them .I would love to hunt bison and banteng
I've heard (herd?) that it's the opposite. Bison bulls display behavior that unnerve cattle. The reciprocal hybrid (domestic bull × bison cow) is much more common.
That big bull in the end could well be a hybrid. Male gaurs readily mated, in the past, with domestic cows in heat left tied to the trees and stakes in India. The hybrid thus born is called a Mithun. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6bY1EFr3BxU.html
You are mistaken, mithuns are the domesticated version of Gaur. Mithuns are to Gaur what cattle are to aurochs or domesticated water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) is to Asian wild buffaloes (bubalus arnee). Mithuns are descendants of gaurs not a cross between cattle and gaur.
@@elhombredeoro955 Buddy do some research! Mithuns originated as hybrids but now due to the Gaur being extinct in Naga Land they can be considered a breed. But they have a lot of zebu blood in them. The shape of their horns is a testament to that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayal. doi.org/10.1016%2FS1673-8527%2807%2960045-9. CITATIONClose [6] Payne, W. J. A. (1970). "Breeds and Breeding VI".
