Tadoba – Gaur

The gaur, also known as the Indian bison, is a bovine native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. The gaur has been recognized by wild life experts as the largest of all wild cattle, bigger even than Asian wild Water Buffalo and American Bison. A gaur herd includes females and one dominant male. Bulls often congregate into bachelor herds while older males occasionally prefer living solitarily. 

Here is a gaur in Tadoba National Park, India.

Yellowstone – Bison

Yellowstone is the only place in the United States where bison have continuously lived since the prehistoric age, according to the Interior Department. Between 2,300 and 5,500 bison live in Yellowstone, according to the Park Service.

Since our visit was in September, most bison had already left Hayden Valley, but here are some by a watering hole.
