Five gaurs (Indian bison) have been shifted from the Kanha Tiger Reserve to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, where these herbivores became extinct more than a decade ago. "We have brought five gaurs - three male and two female - from Kanha in the first phase of the translocation," Bandhavgarh Reserve's Field Director C K Patil as per PTI.

"The gaurs were transported to Bandhavgarh in specially designed trucks," Patil said. Both the reserves are located in eastern Madhya Pradesh, 300 km from each other. The five gaurs have been put in an enclosure spread over 50 hectares for now & would be released into the wild in March.
