A 5-year-old bull gaur died mysteriously shortly after it came out of roadside bushes to encounter motorists on the road in Kaeng Krachan district of Phetchaburi province on Tuesday.

 

The incident happened on the road from Pong Luek to Bang Kloei and was reported by a motorist Bodin Chining as he was driving on the road.

 

He told local authorities that a wild gaur came out of the bushes and blocked him as he was driving on the road. A few minutes later, the animal fell on its knees, flipped on its back before falling to the roadside ditch.

Never realised how big these animals are.

Perhaps poisoned or sick. These animals forage and can get into contaminated material whether it be a toxic dump or poisoned water. I wonder if an autopsy will be done. The results could save lives.
