- "Bos Javanicus is a native cattle species from Southern Asia. Commonly called Banteng, a larger counterpart to their domestic relatives. It roams woodlands, grazing on vegetation. Much like other species in the Bovine family, Bantengs often seek out natural salt links as well.
Sexual dysmophism can be observed within the Banteng species. Bulls grow up to 800.00 kg, while cows are much smaller at 670.00 kg. Both grow to a similar shoulder height of 1.60 m. Bulls will develop dark brown to black fur as their mature. Compared to females' orange-yellowish fur. Both sporting a while patch on their rump and white bands around the ankles.
Cow horns are formed into slender crescent shapes compared to the longer and bigger upward-pointed horns of the bull." - ― In-Game Description
The Banteng is a Class 9 bovine that was introduced with the Emerald Coast reserve.
