A census of gaurs (Bos gaurus), the largest and most powerful of all wild cattle, in Nepal's Chitwan National Park has put their number at 296, showing an increase of 98 from the last count a decade ago.

The count was conducted from 17-18 April, 2007 by park staff with support from the Terai Arc Landscape Programme. More than 20 elephants and 30 recorders participated in the count.
