Precious bond reflected in the lovely frame. I think, the calf was attacked by some smaller predator and was rescued by the mother. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Loved the way the calf is sprinting along side its mother. She can be seen walking a bit leisurely. The high ISO and f8 has helped to get more details. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

Nice frame. It is always a pleasure watching a small calf with its mother. One can see the muscle structure of the gaur from the small calf to the adult. I too agree with the observation of Sakti da about some lesser carnivore perhaps had attacked the calf. That is the reason why the calf should always be around the mother and not stray far off. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
