A large wild ox native to South and Southeast Asia, also called an Indian bison, with massive horns and a muscular hump.
From Hindi gaur, from Sanskrit gavaaya or related words. The animal itself gave the word to English through Indian languages.
The gaur is one of the world's largest wild cattle—heavier than a water buffalo—yet it's disappeared from most of its range in just the last century, showing how quickly megafauna vanish.
