Yes please. I looked for that magazine at my usual source (Borders - whom air imports them into Oz) and after pushing away all the mags of 'muscle "men"' and other crap that they try to hide hunting magazines with. But no luck.

I'll look for it. I had to look up Gaur on the internet to see what they actually looked like. Very interesting animal.

Excellent read, that is one animal that has always tickled my fancy due to their unique look. Too bad they are so few now.
