Banteng

The banteng is a large wild bovine distinguished by white lower legs, a white rump, pale muzzle, and white spots above the eyes. Females are brown to reddish-brown with a dark dorsal stripe and short crescent-shaped horns. Males are blackish-brown to blue-black, with heavier horns that extend outward and upward before curving inward at the tips. Both sexes have a slight shoulder hump. Adults measure 190–225 cm, stand about 160 cm at the shoulder, and weigh 600–800 kg. (Animal Diversity Web)

Banteng inhabit Southeast Asia, including Java, Bali, Myanmar, Borneo, Thailand, and Malaysia. They favor relatively open, dry country near dense cover but move into highland forest and bamboo jungle during the monsoon. Herds commonly contain two to forty animals led by a single mature male, while other males live alone or in bachelor groups. Banteng are usually active by day where undisturbed but may become nocturnal around people. They graze on grasses during the dry season and consume bamboo and other herbaceous plants during wetter months. (Animal Diversity Web)
