Banteng

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 1: A to Beaufort, p. 720

Banteng (Bos sondaicens), a species of ox, a native of Java and Borneo, which, in colour, shape, horns, and absence of dewlap, bears some resemblance to the Gaur (q.v.) (Bos gaurus) of India. The banteng is black, with white legs; the hair is short and sleek; the limbs slender; the muzzle sharp; the back rises into a high arch immediately behind the neck. It inhabits forests, and has been generally described as untamable.
