All about Gaur (Bos gaurus)

[Jimmy]

Not so easy @Pckts the Central indian might show visibly more neckline-meaning their dewlap starts further down slightly than the southern one, the dewlap from south indian ones sometimes can go down beyond the "white shocks', of course we need to see more samples to see some variables and to differentiate, but it is probably not as simple as to distinguish between South-east Asian and Indian Gaurs or the North Indian gaurs, since there will always be overlapping similarities with less noticeable differences.
here are some impressive individuals from south and central region
First impressive South Indian gaurs with continuous dewlap
