Safari Truck in front of Javan Banteng
Amateur photographers will have the opportunity to photograph our exotic wildlife such as rhinos, giraffes, and gazelles, at times just inches from your camera lens. Enjoy the Asian Caravan and keep an eye out for Sika Deer, Blackbuck Antelope and the opportunity to possibly feed an Indian Rhino. Enjoy this incredible 1-3/4 hour animal experience all while being entertained and informed by your very own expert wildlife guide.
Bos javanicus javanicus
The handsome banteng largely resembles domestic cattle both in size and colour, but also demonstrates considerable sexual dimorphism, allowing the sexes to be readily distinguished. Mature males have a dark, chestnut-brown coat, more blue-black in the Javan and Bornean individuals, while females and juveniles are reddish brown, with a dark dorsal stripe. The horns of females are short, tightly curved and point inward at the tips, whereas those of males are long, upwardly arching and connected by a horn-like bald patch on the forehead. Both sexes have the characteristic white ‘stockings’ on their lower legs, a white rump and muzzle, and white spots above the eyes. A gentle hump exists above the shoulders, and a slight ridge runs along the back .
Range
The South and Southeast Asian distribution includes the countries of Cambodia, Indonesia (Kalimantan; Java; Bali), Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. Until recently, it also included Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, India and Peninsular Malaysia. There is also a fairly large introduced population of banteng in Northern Australia, which are currently thought to number up to 400 animals.
