	Banteng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Banteng have white stockings on their lower legs, a white rump and white patches around their eyes and muzzle, however there is considerable sexual dimorphism.
		As of February 2005, the Banteng population of the Cobourg Peninsula is 10,000 head, making the population in the Northern Territory the largest herd in the world.
		The Banteng is the second endangered species to be successfully cloned[1],[2] and the first to survive for more than a week (the first was a Gaur that died two days after being born).

	washingtonpost.com: Bouncing Banteng Born To Iowa Cow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The clone -- a cattlelike creature known as a Javan banteng, native to Asian jungles -- was grown from a single skin cell taken from a captive banteng before it died in 1980.
		A second cloned banteng was born two days later to another cow on the same research farm, but was in poor health yesterday and its prospects remained uncertain -- a reminder that scientists still have a lot to learn before mammalian cloning becomes routine.
		The stored cells were from a male banteng that died at the San Diego Wild Animal Park before it had a chance to mate, depriving the small captive population there of the genetic diversity it could have added.

	CNN.com - Baby clone of endangered wild cattle euthanized - Apr. 9, 2003
		One of the cloned bantengs, a species of wild cattle found in Asia that is endangered, rests in Iowa.
		The banteng calf was born twice the normal size, a common cause of death in cloned animals, said Dr. Robert Lanza of Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technologies.
		Bantengs, enormous cattle that once thrived in the dense forests of Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia and elsewhere in southeast Asia, are now endangered.

	Comparative Placentation
		Banteng have 60 acrocentric chromosomes, similar to cattle, except for minor rearrangements seen on banding studies.
		Whether this applies to banteng (whose cotyledonary surface is one fourth that of cattle) is unknown but will be of interest when banteng placentas from clones into cows become available.

	Monitoring of Ovarian Function in Captive Banteng
		In conclusion, progesterone profiles were detected in female bantengs compared with the absent profile of the males in hot-dry and hot-wet seasons but not in cold-dry season.
		Banteng in Thailand is of the subspecies of Bos javanicus birmanicus which are also found in other countries on the Asian mainland.
		The purpose of the present study was to monitor the ovarian function of the banteng by determination of faecal progesterone level.

		Then what was quite interesting was the obvious discomfort to the banteng to do this because you'd see the eyes were bulging and the prominent veins in the neck and she looked uncomfortable, like this was quite an effort for her to do this.

		Banteng are a shy species of wild Southeast Asian cattle and are also known as Bali Cattle.
		The number of banteng and the extent of their habitat have declined alarmingly over the last 20 years; the species is extinct in India, Bangladesh and West Malaysia and the population is in decline on the Asian mainland.
		The Banteng population is very fragmented and isolated and is found on the islands of Borneo and Java with the total population amounting to less than 5,000 to 8,000 individuals.

		The new banteng, Jahava, was cloned by implanting some of the frozen material in the egg of a domestic cow in a joint effort by the zoo and Advanced Cellular Technology, a Massachusetts biotech firm.
		"If he should mate with a banteng female, then we anticipate that the offspring will be 100 percent banteng, and in the process we've introduced genetic material from the bull that died into the living species.

		The researchers say their creation proves that cloning can help endangered species; but the real test will come in about six years' time, when the cloned banteng reaches sexual maturity and is ready to breed.
		If it survives, the remaining banteng will be transferred to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and encouraged to breed.
