KING OF WILD BULLS.

I.,dia's Gaur Combines Courage and
Audacity With Great Strength.
The gaur is often wrongly termed
bison" The name is not correct; the
bison is the Dos bonassus of Lithuania
and the Caucasus. The gaur, found in
Indo-China, is certainly the finest Of all
the wild bulls; he overawes all OPP
ponents by his courage, audacity and
great strength.
He is a huge beast and sometimes
measures six feet to the root of the
tail He is distinguished from all
other wild cattle by the prominent
hump between the two horns. The lat
ter are massive, fat at the base, and
ringed, and they describe a very wide
curve from the root upward.
The coat is Of an olive brown tint,
hair.
The gaur is found both in the forest
and on the mountains, for, in spite of
his great size, he is extremely agile, so
that he can run up the mountain slopes
and climb the rocks with ease.
Like the elephant he feeds Oh grass
and plants, and when he cannot get
these he falls back on bamboo shoots
and the buds and branches OF trees.
The gaurs feed until about o'clock
in the morning; then they return to the
bamboo forests and clearings to sleep.
Later in the afternoon they come out
to Craze and drink 1Iney are not timid,
and several shots can be fired among
