Gaur – the tiger killer
The Gaur is the largest known wild cattle on the planet – in fact they are bigger than bison, water buffalo, and the Cape buffalo.
They are found in south Asia.
There are more cases of tigers being killed by Gaurs, than of Gaurs being killed by tigers.
Threatened.

I feel he is in distress; kidneys or liver; close to dying.
Hope I am wrong.
Hi Nancy,
Can you say more about how you received the info?

In Tanzania, water buffalo are referred to by the guides we were with as “furniture” – of all the animals they deal with, the water buffalo is the most feared, which I found interesting. Learning about the Gaur made me think of this story — they must be HUGE!
Hi Caroline,
Furniture? That’s amazing, puts a diferent perspective on the animals, doesn’t it? Thanks for sharing your story.
