Hello,
I get mailordered sets of animal cards, I get 3 sets every month
with various animals in them, animals, fish, birds, insects, things
like that, and every time I open the packages, it does not take me
long to find an animal I do not know of, I look at the picture and the
name and say
"A What?"
So....... I figured it would be neat and sort of fun to scan these
animals and send them to all Y'all! and see how you do!
If this is a stupid idea, oh well, I tried! of course I can only go
by the information on the cards so if I have been misinformed of a
particular animal, let me know K! ;)
Enjoy! if you like I can do the same for insects, fish and birds! :)
Russ

Gaur
Bos gaurus
Most people know that cows are a domesticated version of the wild cattle that ranged through the Old World thousands of years ago. Wild cattle still run in small herds in scattered areas of India and Peninsular Malaysia, and these are the gaurs. Each herd is led by a huge old bull, with the finest horns, a sleek, dark brown coat, and white "stockings." One of this animal's distinguishing features is the saddlelike-hump on their back.
Gaurs are huge animals. Males are about 25% bigger than females. A large male will stand over 2 m (6.5 ft.) at the shoulder and weigh up to 1 000 kg (2,200 lb.). They were once hunted by sportsmen in India as "big game" as was the American bison. Because of their size and strength, and since the Indian tiger is now almost extinct, they have few predators other than humans. |
