The Gaur

Picture this: a beast that's bigger than a buffalo, stronger than a bull, and with a hump like a camel – that's a Gaur for you! Gaurs have a dark brown coat of fur, and you'd spot them easily with their sparkling white lower legs, as if they're wearing socks! This magnificent creature is the heaviest and most powerful of all wild cattle, weighing anywhere between 1,400 and 2,200 lbs. They might be hefty, but that doesn't mean they're slow; in fact, Gaurs can run up to 35 miles per hour when they need to!
