RECOUNT TEXT

BULL
A bull is an adult male of the species Bos taurus. Bulls
are much more muscular than cows, with thicker bones,
larger feet, a very muscular neck, and a large, bony head
with protective ridges over the eyes. Bulls typically weigh
between 700 and 800 kilograms.
Bulls are active both during the day and at night, but
nocturnal activity is more common in areas frequented by
humans. Herds of banteng in the wild consist of 2 to 40
bulls with only one male. Banteng are animals in the
herbivorous class and eat various plants such as grass,
puzzles, shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits. Bulls often
drink water, especially from still water, but can survive
several days without water in the dry season.
Little is known about the reproductive physiology of the
banteng, but it is probably similar to the European cattle
that have been observed. Bulls are pregnant for 285 days
(more than 9 months, or a week longer than European
cows) and then give birth to only one calf. Banteng are
found in a wide variety of habitats throughout their natural
range, including deciduous, semi-deciduous forests, lower
montane forests, abandoned farmlands, and grasslands.
