A Gaur walked into a yard…


almost sounds like the beginning of a joke, but not quite. It needs a monkey. “A gaur and a monkey walked into a yard,…”

Alas, it was just a Gaur. “Just.” But it was a bull. And the smallest bulls are the size of the biggest cows.

This guy was two or three feet away from me in the end, separated by an exterior wall (and window).

Bull Gaur -- taken with window and top of pole so you sort of see his size in scale.

Slowly turning to face me. He kept eating, but i got the sense he knew I was there.

Now he was a little too close. If it hadn't been for the wall/window, I could have reached out and pet it.
