Its was misting morning in Air Karah we just had our morning
breakfast about 8.00 am at "Warung Kak
Bari" (name of a coffee shop) and proceed to our farm. All the boys were
in the back of my husband 4X4 Hilux while my husband driving, I sat beside
him. Just a few meters away from my farm we saw a huge solitary young Malayan
Gaur (seladang) grazing beside the road. At first, we mistaken him to a water
buffalo, suddenly my husband stopped the car and said "Seladang" he
reversed his car and said " take a picture". Sound from the car's engine makes the Seladang
stop grazing and stared at us, the boys were quiet at the back of the car. I
took a few shoots. At one time, he looked disturb, I thought he will ram into our
car, and told my husband to go off, but my husband said its okay. He was right,
after a few minutes staring at us
The Seladang just walked away.
(Malayan Gaur (Seladang) is the smallest
subspecies of Gaur. They are found only in Malaysia and Thailand. They are
active either early in the morning or late in the evening. They are protected
species in Malaysia.)

| not a full-grown adult, maybe his herd have been killed by poachers |
 |
| In Malaysia, Seladang is highly threatened by pouching for domestic consumption |
 |
| sometimes Seladang goes into the fields and graze alongside domestic cattle |
 |
| seladang has a white tail, that's make him different from a bull |
