Interesting question @parvez, let me ask you the same question now. why are Gaurs critically endangered in Kaziranga, its not like they didnt have a perfect habitat. what contributed to their decline? competition with Asiatic water buffalos? till date i have only seen about a few gaur pictures from Kaziranga and to spot a Gaur in Kaziranga is considered extremely rare. in 1984 census, the gaur numbers stood at around 30, Asiatic water buffalos were roughly 677, in 2001 that number jumped to about 1666 for the Asiatic water buffalo. Gaur numbers now are less than 30 individual, some even say 10 individuals at best.
