Bos javanicus d'Alton, 1823

Bantengi (Bos javanicus) on äärimmäisen uhanalainen aasialainen nautaeläin. Nykyisin alkuperäinen villi kanta Aasiassa on supistunut muutamiin tuhansiin. Australian pohjoisosissa, jonne laji siirrettiin brittien siirtomaakaudella vuonna 1849, niitä elää arviolta kymmenentuhatta. Bantengista kesytetty balinnauta on vanha aasialainen kotieläin, ja niitä arvioidaan olevan eri puolilla Etelä-Aasiaa 1,5 miljoonaa yksilöä.
