Gaurs are massively built heavy animals with large horns. One must give respect to such magnificent beasts when encountered in the wild. Gaur bulls can be outright aggressive towards people or cattle intruding on their territory and they do have the means to inflict some serious injury.

Gaurs graze on various grasses and other herbaceous plants as well as on the foliage of trees and shrubs.
