“ During the rains these animals betake themselves to the low hills, where they feed on the bamboo, with which the hills are covered; and after the yearly fires they all descend into the valley, and wander through the vast teak forests. ”
Henry S. Wood, The Zoologist (1897)
“ They are always in good condition, although at times subject to cattle disease. All specimens which I have shot had splendid coats, smooth and shining, like that of a well-groomed horse. The skin is much prized by the Burmans for making shoes. The under parts of the body in one Cow were covered with small warts, varying in size from that of a pea to a hazel-nut. The neck of the Bull is generally covered with scars, the result of wounds received in combat. The genital organs, too, in the Bull, are covered with huge ticks. ”
Henry S. Wood, The Zoologist (1897)
“ Unlike the Bison, they never come down to the rice fields of the villagers, and this is probably owing to their extreme shyness. The Cow calves during the rains, and the young is of a light red colour, only one being produced at a birth. At the beginning of the rains Tsine are always to be found at the foot of the low hills, where they browse on the tender new bamboo shoots. ”
