Wild banteng are extremely rare in Asia due to loss of suitable habitat.

In the upper left quarter, on a red background, is the head of the Javanese wild bull, the banteng.

Independently, both say that more extensive sampling and analysis of mainland banteng are needed to determine who is correct.

This species is the likely ancestor to the banteng (Bos javanicus).

The banteng is generally active both night and day, but in places where humans are common they adopt a nocturnal schedule.

One day a banteng bull ran amok and began wreaking havoc in the capital city.

But the researchers doubt that could have produced two captive banteng with kouprey mitochondria.

It is home to a large variety of sea life and the world's largest herd of pure-strain banteng.

On the departure of British troops, the banteng were released from their grazing pastures and allowed to form a feral population.

The banteng was chosen to symbolize democracy as Indonesians saw it as a social animal.

The banteng of the Cobourg Peninsula have developed slightly different life processes than their domesticated counterparts.

In 2003, a banteng was successfully cloned, followed by three African wildcats from a thawed frozen embryo.

Banteng have also been introduced to Northern Australia, where they have established stable feral populations.

Despite being a non-native species, the feral Australian banteng has adapted to interact positively with native bird populations.

It is also possible the kouprey was a naturally occurring species whose females, as its numbers declined, mated occasionally with banteng.

Other species of cattle domesticated in parts of Asia include yak, gaur, banteng and water buffalo.

Other species of wild bovines were also domesticated, namely the wild water buffalo, gaur, and banteng.

When they entered the jungle again, the Moi several times spotted banteng, but what few traces of seladang they found proved to be cold trails.

Some zebu breeds are derived from hybrids between zebu and yak, gaur and banteng.

Successful crosses have also been recorded between yak and American bison, gaur, and banteng, generally with similar results to those produced with domestic cattle.
