The
gaur (,
Bos gaurus), also called
Indian bison, is the largest extant
bovine, 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
uring the last three generations. Population trends are stable in well-protected areas, and are rebuilding in a few areas which had been neglected.
