The smallest species of wild cattle is the banteng (Bos
Javanicus), which is native to Southeast Asia. Adult bantengs typically weigh between 600 to 1,200 pounds and stand about 4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with males exhibiting a dark coat and large, curved horns. Bantengs are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting pressures.
