Abstract

We compared the skull of the kouprey with that of the other bovines (the Mishima cattle, yak, banteng and gaur) and investigated the morphological characters of the bovines. A significant difference in DHT, DFS, LFB and GBN were found in the cranium of Mishima cattle. A significant difference in SCL, GLN, GTD, LFB, GBN, LDH(L) and LDH(R) were observed in the cranium of yak. A significant difference in DHT, GBN, GDH(L), GDH(R) and LDH(L) were confirmed in the cranium of banteng. The significant difference in GBN/MFL is admitted among the other bovines. From these results, the Mishima cattle may have small between the tips of the horn sheath, and the width of the skull may be also small compared with the other bovines. The tips of the horn sheath in the kouprey may be broader than those of the other bovines.
