I was lucky enough to see one in the wild decades ago in the center of the Malayan Peninsula.

We wanted to hunt water buffalos, but the terrain from the start was not the usual where we normally encountered the water buffalo. It was mountains covered with dense rain forest. The track also looked a little different than that of a normal water buffalo. We still followed up the track and after a certain time a young gaur bull, or called Seladang in the country, suddenly stood in front of us. I had never seen one before, but the shape of the head, horns and body is typical and distinctive.
