Albino gaur
Albino gaur or white bison are a type of gaur, occasionally seen in the Manjampatti Valley, a protected area at the eastern end of Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary and National Park in Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, South India.〔Office of the Registrar General, India. Published by Manager of Publications, 1966 (Census of India, (1961) p. 60 )〕 They are occasionally called Manjampatti white bison ((タミル語:காட்டேணி) ''kaatteni'', or ''kaattu erumai'', meaning “forest buffalo”). These gaur are notable for their distinctive ash-grey color as opposed to the almost black color of most gaur. Since 1929, there have been at least 19 documented sightings of these rare animals, including the 2004 photographs of N. A. Naseer.
==Description==
(詳細はsubspecies of gaur ''(Bos gaurus gaurus)''.〔 Many subspecies of gaur have been described, but only three subspecies are now recognized. Further research is required to precisely determine the taxonomy of this species.〔Wild Cattle Conservation Project, C/o National Institute of Animal Husbandry, Thuy Phuong - Tu Liem, Hanoi, Viet Nam (Gaur ''Bos gaurus'' Lambert, 1804 ) (2008)〕
Gaur were previously numerous all over the Palani Hills, but declined greatly during the 20th century. Now they are protected and their numbers are increasing substantially. The endangered gaur are the heaviest and most powerful of all wild bovines. Males have a highly muscular body, with a distinctive dorsal ridge, forming a very powerful appearance. Females are substantially smaller, and their dorsal ridge is less developed. Adult body length is to cm / 8.3–12 ft. Shoulder height is to . Average males stand about to at the shoulder. Females are about less. Tail length is to .It may jump 100 - 140 feets.
The male Indian gaurs' average weight is . Large individuals may exceed . Gaurs in Northern India are the same size as the southern breed, but more of the larger, better specimens can be seen in South India, due to the high concentration of gaur there.〔Gaur#Description〕 Calf and juvenile gaurs have several predators, including tigers; panthers; clouded leopards; Indian wild dogs and Asian black bears, but only tigers are powerful enough to kill adult gaur.
