Javan Rhino

Javan Rhino meets Gaur

Well, I can say that stroking Gaur is an experience. As a zoochatter that doesn't like ignorant, annoying people doing this kind of thing, I do feel maybe I should have left it, but I REALLY couldn't resist, and the Gaur didn't seem to mind.

What I will say though, is if you try this have some hand sanitizer - luckily we did, because they leave a sort of oily, dirty residue.
id love to get this close to a gaur !!!
how were you able to do that ?

Well there's no standoff barrier and they can get right up to the fence with a shallow ha-ha, but the animal is big enough that if your arms are long enough you can just about reach over.
 
Thats a very cute picture...A little boy in a german zoo has lost his hand by doing the same with a european bison many years ago, the bison has squeezed his hand..
