🐃Banteng
El banteng (Bos javanicus), también conocido como bantín, es una especie en peligro crítico de extinción de bovino salvaje de la subfamilia Bovinae endémica de los bosques de montaña del sureste asiático. Por su aspecto recuerda bastante al gaur, pero se diferencia de este en que es más bajo y pequeño, con una joroba más pronunciada sobre los hombros. El pelaje es marrón oscuro en los machos, pudiendo llegar a casi negro en algunos ejemplares, mientras que las hembras (de menor tamaño y cuernos más pequeños) tienen un pelaje pardo claro o rojizo. Como los gaures, viven en manadas y se alimentan de hierbas, hojas de árboles y arbustos y brotes de bambú. En la actualidad se encuentran tanto en estado salvaje como doméstico, siendo conocido en este caso como toro de Bali (aunque no es exclusivo de esta isla). Sus depredadores principales son los cuones, tigres y leopardos.
