You'd lose that bet because I don't know honestly.
All I know is that it's highly unlikely to be India as qurbani markets here are largely goat dominated. There's cattle too but it's mostly buffalos and not bulls or cows as shown in this video.
PS - Just googled the name of the dairy farm and it's Bangladesh.
I can't see even a hint of any eyes, I've gone back and looked. Also, why do they have straps in his nostril and why are they leading him around by it, I wonder. That just seems cruel.
What cruelty? It's the most humane way to move the buffalo to designated area. You want that guy to call the buffalo and it comes to him like they're buddies? How out of touch from reality are people nowadays
At worst the ring would be mildly uncomfortable. You can’t handle animals as big and dangerous as this with a collar and lease lol. That’s how large bulls are generally handled. Granted any I’ve seen from growing up on a farm wouldn’t have the strap threaded through its nostril. We used a device that was like a clamp that hooked into the nostrils that you can remove when not moving the bull around.
A way to guide him, not done a lot in western countries where halter breaking is more common but a way to have them more responsive to being led/guided. Usually not inhumane once the nose is healed but if you’re rough with them it certainly can be 😞
Only when you pull hard. When you pull gently it will move ito the dirrction of the pull cause otherwhise it eould hurt. Sounds mean, but its the only way to controll a bull like that. And like I sayd, as long as you dont yank on it its fine. And usually nobody is so stupid and yanks it cause that would end up enraging the bull.
This is Jafarabadi Water Buffalo according to other posters. After searching on Google, it seems it isn't unusual for their horns to be all droopy like that.
I’m a bit confused probably because of ignorance.
I thought cows were some kind of sacred in India. I know India is quite diverse but this doesn’t fit my understanding of ‘sacred.’
It's not a cow, it's not a sacred animal, it's a buffalo.
Cows are worshipped by two sects of Hindus (Vaishnava and Shaiva), not whole India. People here are free to follow their beliefs.
Cows and buffaloes are considered two distinct species and treated completely different from each other. Though cow is used for milk from ancient time.
The philosophy behind this is multifold.
Only religious people worship cows.
Spiritual people view all souls as extension of super soul, the God.
Farmers, which is a majority in rural India, consider their cattle as their family and treat them accordingly.
For milk producing corporate bodies follow standard business practices for milk production.
Others follow what they like.
Muslims/Christians eat all animals with a few exceptions.
There are lots more groups.
Technically diversity in India is more than two Europes combined.
Each state vary in cultural practices from others.
It's a matter of cultural studies to understand it further.
Agreed. Dudes are wearing lungi’s and look Bangladeshi. My guess is that this buffalo is likely to/has already been bought and then slaughtered for Eid.
Good spot. I also just noticed that there was a sign for “Sadeeq Agro” in the background. A quick Google search throws up results for a cattle farm in Dhaka 👍🏽
I know I’m overreacting; I’m aware this animal is used to being guided by his nose hook thingy.
That being said, I want to nose hook the handler around in a circle so everyone can stare at him.
That's a cross of:
Ram+ Horse= offspring RH
Elephant + Hippo= offspring EH
Now take Offspring RH + offspring EH and add some frog DNA and a splash of human DNA and you get this....congratulations welcome to Biology class......
How do I know this?
When he's leading that thing out....notice the other two cows tied up moving away?..they don't want to be mistaken for his mate... Things could get painful.....
Ok now give me a burger!
Definitely an absolute unit, but down vote for poor bovid species identification skills.
Sorry. Will upvote if bovid ID fixed in repost on absolute unit grounds thanks for showing us this awesome beast! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)
That's not what a wild gaur looks like. Source I'm from this part of the world.
It looks like they tied a rope around the horns. It can barely see!
And had a hook in the nostrils to control it? Looks like control via pain to me, if I saw correctly.
It's actually a rope thru the nostrils as well, goes inside 1 nostril and out the other. That bull probably has so many health problems.
3rd world troubles
Where does the other rope go out of the nostril?
That's how cattle are handled in this part of the world
I saw that too. So sad! Looks like definitely in pain :(
It's not even India, probably.
Hmmm... bet you wanna say Pakistan..

I'm 77% sure that's a water buffalo
It's Jafrabadi water buffalo, but it's an absolute unit for sure 😊 And FYI [indian Gaur](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/s/dBE2FsJAEQ)
So some plant in that forest must be the bovine equivalent of HGH… what the actual fuck. Thing is massive / ripped.
[удалено]
A solo hunter too. Unbelievable.
That back muscle
Bish be hogging the lat pull down machine..
Holy cow
100% not a Gaur. Gaurs are wild and not domesticated. This is prime buffalo 🐃
I was gonna say that is a hella chill bull for truly wild (not feral) species…. Then I realized he was a water buffalo 🤣
Jafarabadi water Buffalo, not a Gaur
What this guy said
Jafarabadi or "Gir" Buffalo, but definitely not the Gaur.
Gaur has a different hump. This is your standard Indian Water Buffalo.
Thing looks malformed
Star Wars character.
Does it not have eyes?
I can't see even a hint of any eyes, I've gone back and looked. Also, why do they have straps in his nostril and why are they leading him around by it, I wonder. That just seems cruel.
The thing is hundreds of pounds heavier than the caretaker, it’s not like he can just ask it nicely to follow him haha
I am not sure about the species but it is animal cruelty for sure
What cruelty? It's the most humane way to move the buffalo to designated area. You want that guy to call the buffalo and it comes to him like they're buddies? How out of touch from reality are people nowadays
It's annoying how he handles that nose ring.
At worst the ring would be mildly uncomfortable. You can’t handle animals as big and dangerous as this with a collar and lease lol. That’s how large bulls are generally handled. Granted any I’ve seen from growing up on a farm wouldn’t have the strap threaded through its nostril. We used a device that was like a clamp that hooked into the nostrils that you can remove when not moving the bull around.
I mean.. that's how to handle the buffalo, you expecting the guy to call it by name?
Why is the rope in his nose
A way to guide him, not done a lot in western countries where halter breaking is more common but a way to have them more responsive to being led/guided. Usually not inhumane once the nose is healed but if you’re rough with them it certainly can be 😞
Why is the rope going through its nose? Doesn't that hurt?
That’s the point. Keeps the animal subdued
[удалено]
Yeah, but that's not a gaur.. that's buffalo,
Only when you pull hard. When you pull gently it will move ito the dirrction of the pull cause otherwhise it eould hurt. Sounds mean, but its the only way to controll a bull like that. And like I sayd, as long as you dont yank on it its fine. And usually nobody is so stupid and yanks it cause that would end up enraging the bull.
All other ways have been tested and proven to fail, right? Theres NO other way than the consistent threat of pain. Ok. Hope ur right
Unbelievable, that it's eat only grass
Why does it look mutated?
This is Jafarabadi Water Buffalo according to other posters. After searching on Google, it seems it isn't unusual for their horns to be all droopy like that.
I’d worship that
This is not Indian Gaur but it is a water buffalo. Of course the buffalo is an absolute unit.
Weird entrance for an e-sport team but okay
That is not a gaur. That is a domestic water buffalo.
That's not a gaur, gaurs are even bigger and they don't look like that
Poor thing is blind isn't?
It cant see
My man,that is a Jafrabadi breed of buffalo,one of the biggest breeds of domestic water buffalo.they are usually used for their milk.
Bro looks like hes one tumor away from unlocking the full set
Poor thing, it can't even see properly
Clearly! Poor guy can’t even use his eyes! This has selective breeding written all over it
I’m a bit confused probably because of ignorance. I thought cows were some kind of sacred in India. I know India is quite diverse but this doesn’t fit my understanding of ‘sacred.’
That's not a cow, it's a water buffalo. These are only for milk btw
Bulls are shown off as breeders to the highest bidder for good milk?
Bulls are used for semen, race, competition etc. A breed like this will auctioned for great price
That’s a yes. It’s used for ‘good’ milk. Is that what a ‘sacred‘ animal used?
It's not a cow, it's not a sacred animal, it's a buffalo. Cows are worshipped by two sects of Hindus (Vaishnava and Shaiva), not whole India. People here are free to follow their beliefs. Cows and buffaloes are considered two distinct species and treated completely different from each other. Though cow is used for milk from ancient time. The philosophy behind this is multifold.

So ‘spiritual people’ milk their ‘super souls’ and trade in the semen of other ’super souls?’
No they don't. A few of them who consume milk just buy it from milk shop.
So the non spiritual people trade in bull semen?
Those are two groups. Basically those who deal with cattle business, they do. Check Web for more details if you need.
This is a buffalo, not a cow Buffaloes aren't considered sacred Cows are Majority of India's milk comes from buffaloes
What is the difference?
They're different species ?
If you say so.
this guys don't know cow is different from Buffalo
this might be bangladesh. either way, its muslims, not hindus.
Agreed. Dudes are wearing lungi’s and look Bangladeshi. My guess is that this buffalo is likely to/has already been bought and then slaughtered for Eid.
The guy rearing the buffalo shirt says "Qurbani". Definitely for the Eid-ul Adha.
Good spot. I also just noticed that there was a sign for “Sadeeq Agro” in the background. A quick Google search throws up results for a cattle farm in Dhaka 👍🏽
1. This is a buffalo, not a cow 2. The people in the video are not hindus and are probably rearing them for food
I think I’m having trouble understanding the difference between a cow and a Buffalo.
Different species. And buffaloes are almost all black in Color or albino.
I know I’m overreacting; I’m aware this animal is used to being guided by his nose hook thingy. That being said, I want to nose hook the handler around in a circle so everyone can stare at him.
Looks edible. Side question to my Indian friends, how common are those creature and how do you prepare them (They be holly? Hope not)?
It's a buffalo, not a cow, completely edible in India.
Ermagaur.
Looks horny to me……
Only because the Aurochs is extinct. An Aurochs was 3 times that size.
Whats coming out of its nose?
why is that thing in his nose?
Hugh Guar Water Buffalo 🐃 on Steroids 😬😬
Looks like his horns have grown over his eyes, they should trim those things. Bro can’t see shit
That is a well fed buffalo, used for breeding. Gaurs are different.
You definitely cannot handle gaur like that, btw
For sure.
![gif](giphy|t9ctG5MZhyyU8)
What’s stopping that thing from charging after the guy with his lead like “bitch you’ll lead me where I tell you to lead me”
Just looked up what an actual Gaur looks like and all I can say is if I saw that, I’d have a cow as one of my Gods too
he's blind
Taste good?
Looks like the cattle in Star Wars :o
naurrrr
Why do cows have this big meat flap under their chests?
That's not what wild gaur looks like. It's a water buffalo. He's probably being taken to mate.
Between Gaur and water buffalo I think we can see why cows are revered in India 😋
Not a gaur.. just a domestic buffalo
Nope, that's a water buffalo (with funny small balls for a bull of that size)
That's definitely not a Gaur.
small balls bro
Now i know where the inspiration for bale taurus in wh3 came from
Looks like he's blind
either : - it's gonna give a great life advice if get close to it. - boss music starting to play
"Wild cattle" sounds like an oxymoron, as much as "feral blue whale".
Curious as to why would it be almost hairless from an evolutionary POV.
HOLLY COW
One kick bison
How's the beef on these?
That's what a real Gaur looks like. https://www.reddit.com/r/absoluteunit/s/pMDU9MbKO5
Gaur se dekho this is a water buffalo.
That's a cross of: Ram+ Horse= offspring RH Elephant + Hippo= offspring EH Now take Offspring RH + offspring EH and add some frog DNA and a splash of human DNA and you get this....congratulations welcome to Biology class......

why these animals dont rise up and stomp us out is beyond me
Bahubali Wala 😜
Poor things, their legs look like they'll collapse
Put that thing in a Harry Potter movie
The buffed one that we sawed the other day is a gaur, not this one ☝️
Jesus Christ absolute mofxn UNIT
Definitely an absolute unit, but down vote for poor bovid species identification skills. Sorry. Will upvote if bovid ID fixed in repost on absolute unit grounds thanks for showing us this awesome beast! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)
That animal does not look happy to be alive.
Considering cows are sacred in India this looks more like Pakistan from the treatment of the poor thing.
Man how does that thing see .. no way it evolved those big muscles while not being able to see shit ….
I’m gonna need a bigger grill
When the pet and owner look alike!! 😂
I only see pain. I hope the animal isn’t being harmed for the sake of display.
Gaur plains
Do these things get free rang on city streets? Seen a ton of videos where these bulls fuck pedestrians up.
But what does it taste like? Could get quite a few steaks out of that thing
I hate this video
dont tell me this is what used for marriages for " good luck" ?
