gaur

Asiatic wild ox, dark grey-brown in colour with white ‘socks’ and standing 2 m/6 ft tall at the shoulders. It originally roamed across a vast area of land stretching from India to Southeast Asia and Malaysia, but population numbers and the area where it can be found are now much smaller. (Species Bos gaurus.)

A gaur was cloned in 2000 by the fusing of a skin cell of a dead male with a cow's egg cell. The gaur calf was carried by a cow surrogate mother and was be born in November 2000, but died two days later from an disease unrelated to the cloning.
