Like you said even when it is not a very sick animal, they attack still when its in their favor, ambush, at night, ect.

Do bull guar travel in small herds like the cape buffalo?

 

Bull gaur are just like Bull Cape Buffalo,
they will travel alone most of the time until its time to breed then they will travel with the herd.

In response to @Pantherinae statement about aggression of a Cape compared to a Gaur. Its impossible to say, the myth about Cape buffalo not being domesticated is false.

At the end of the day, a Gaur or Water Buffalo is much larger and have ever bit the weaponary even more so in terms of absolute bulk and Muscel mass, especially when speaking of a bull Gaur.

The only difference is, Cape buffalo live in larger herds, but lions combat that with prides. Still most of their attempts are on seperated cape buffalo and if the herd comes back to help, they quickly abort the hunt. Also in response to seeing a Lion take down a adult Cape as easy as raja, I have never seen any lion take down an adult Cape buffalo in 2 minutes. Rajas kill on that cow was the most impressive display of hunting with a mission I have ever seen. He avoided attack, locked a throat hold and silenced the bovine in a matter of seconds. He was so strong that bovine could not even budge him. It was like a noose tightening every time the gaur pulled back.
