White socked Gaur (Bull)

[Sarma Vemuri]

At Kanha..
Few details:
An old bull can weigh upto 900 kgs.
Food: Mainly grass, also browses on leaves and the bark of certain trees.
By nature shy and timid. As with most wild cattle, hearing and eyesight are comparatively poor.
Visits 'Salt-licks'--Such earth acts as a purgative and rids animals of internal parasites.
Their defence is their massive size and acute sense of smell.

Seems like a huge fellow. Seems the light was quite bad. Nicely photographed. Thanks for sharing the information.

Nice to see a huge bull. Because of the sidelighting the bull has its eye in shadows.

Edit: I hadn't noticed that the ISO was 10,000. Was it early in the morning?

Patraji, I have erred in typing the ISO. It is ISO 1000. Regret for the mistake.
Thanks for viewing.
