The gaur (Bos gaurus); also called Indian bison; is the largest extant bovine and is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1986; as the population decline in parts of the species' range is likely to be well over 70% during the last three generations. Population trends are stable in well-protected areas; and are rebuilding in a few areas which had been neglected.

The gaur is the tallest species of wild cattle. The Malayan gaur is called seladang; and the Burmese gaur is called pyoung. Pictures From Asia David Henley
