Banteng (Bos javanicus)
Banteng (dari bahasa Jawa: banthèng; nama spesies: Bos javanicus) atau tembadau adalah spesies hewan yang sekerabat dengan sapi dan ditemukan di berbagai wilayah Asia Tenggara. Banteng jantan dan betina memiliki perbedaan yang mencolok (dimorfisme seksual): pejantan biasanya berkulit cokelat gelap atau hitam, berbadan besar dan kekar, sedangkan banteng betina lebih langsing dan memiliki kulit cokelat muda.
Banteng memiliki bercak besar berwarna putih di bagian bokong. Baik pejantan maupun betina memiliki tanduk, umumnya dengan panjang 60 hingga 75 cm. Ilmuwan umumnya membaginya menjadi tiga subspesies: banteng jawa, banteng indocina, dan banteng kalimantan. Banteng liar biasanya lebih besar dibandingkan banteng yang telah didomestikasi oleh manusia.
Banteng aktif pada siang dan malam hari, tetapi aktivitas malam lebih umum di daerah yang banyak dikunjungi manusia. Kawanan banteng di alam liar terdiri dari 2 hingga 40 ekor banteng dengan hanya satu pejantan.
Banteng adalah hewan dalam golongan herbivora dan memakan berbagai tumbuhan seperti rumput, teki, tunas, daun, bunga, dan buah-buahan. Banteng sering minum air, terutama dari air yang tenang, tetapi mampu bertahan beberapa hari tanpa air di musim kemarau. Fisiologi reproduksi banteng tidak banyak diketahui, tetapi mungkin mirip dengan sapi eropa yang telah banyak diamati.
Induk banteng mengandung dalam jangka 285 hari (lebih dari 9 bulan, atau seminggu lebih lama dibandingkan sapi eropa) dan kemudian melahirkan seekor anak banteng saja. Banteng ditemukan di berbagai jenis habitat di jangkauan alamiahnya, termasuk hutan bertumbuhan peluruh, setengah peluruh, bagian bawah hutan montana, lahan pertanian yang ditinggalkan, serta daerah rerumputan.
Populasi banteng liar terbanyak berada di Kamboja, Jawa, Kalimantan (terutama Sabah, Malaysia) dan Thailand. Banteng ternak dapat ditemukan di Bali, pulau-pulau timur Indonesia (seperti Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Sumba), Australia, Malaysia, dan Papua Nugini. Banteng ternak di Indonesia disebut sapi bali, dan jumlahnya mencapai hampir 25% dari seluruh populasi sapi di Indonesia. Peternakan banteng dilakukan untuk menghasilkan daging, dan kadang digunakan sebagai hewan pekerja.
Bull (from Javanese: banthèng; species name: Bos javanicus) or tembadau is an animal species that is related to cattle and is found in various parts of Southeast Asia. Male and female bulls have a striking difference (sexual dimorphism): the males usually have dark brown or black skin, are large and stocky, while female bulls are slimmer and have light brown skin. The bull has large white patches on the rump. Both males and females have horns, generally 60 to 75 cm in length. Scientists generally divide it into three subspecies: Javanese bull, Indochinese bull, and Kalimantan bull. Wild bulls are usually larger than bulls that have been domesticated by humans.
Bull are active during the day and at night, but nocturnal activity is more common in areas with high human traffic. A bull herd in the wild consists of 2 to 40 bulls with only one male.
Bull are herbivores and eat a variety of plants such as grass, nuts, shoots, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Bull often drink water, especially from calm water, but are able to survive several days without water in the dry season. The reproductive physiology of bulls is not widely known, but may be similar to those of widely observed European cattle. Mother bulls conceive in a period of 285 days (more than 9 months, or a week longer than European cattle) and then give birth to only one calf.
Bull are found in a wide variety of habitats in their natural range, including deciduous, semi-deciduous forest, lower montane forest, abandoned agricultural land, and grassy areas.
The largest population of wild bull is in Cambodia, Java, Kalimantan (especially Sabah, Malaysia) and Thailand. Bull cattle can be found in Bali, the eastern islands of Indonesia (such as Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Sumba), Australia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Bull cattle in Indonesia are called bali cows, and account for nearly 25% of the total cattle population in Indonesia. Bull farming is used to produce meat, and is sometimes used as working animal.

Ayam Hutan Hijau atau Green Junglefowl (Gallus varius)
adalah satu dari dua spesies ayam hutan asli Indonesia selain Ayam Hutan Merah (Gallus gallus). Bahkan Ayam Hutan Hijau merupakan hewan endemik Indonesia yang tersebar hanya di Jawa, Bali, dan Nusa Tenggara saja.
Dari hasil persilangan antara Ayam Kampung dengan Ayam Hutan Hijau inilah dihasilkan Ayam Bekisar yang mempunya bulu indah sekaligus kokok (suara) yang khas. Ayam Bekisar sendiri merupakan fauna identitas provinsi Jawa Timur.
Ayam Hutan Hijau di beberapa daerah di Indonesia disebut sebagai Canghegar atau Cangehgar (Sunda), Ayam Alas (Jawa), dan Ajem Allas atau Tarattah (Madura). Beberapa penyebutan nama ini memang sama dengan penyebutan untuk Ayam Hutan Merah.
Dalam bahasa Inggris Ayam Hutan Hijau disebut sebagai Green Junglefowl, Javan Junglefowl, Forktail, atau Green Javanese Junglefowl. Sedangkan dalam bahasa latin (ilmiah), ayam ini dinamai Gallus varius.

Ayam Hutan Hijau (Gallus gallus) betina
Ayam Hutan Hijau atau Green Junglefowl (Gallus varius)
Is one of two species of forest fowl native to Indonesia apart from the Red Forest Chicken (Gallus gallus). In fact Green Forest Chickens are endemic to Indonesia, which are spread only in Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara.
From the results of the cross between the Kampung Chickens and the Green Forest Chickens, Bekisar Chicken has beautiful feathers and a distinctive crowing (sound). Bekisar chicken itself is a fauna of the identity of the province of East Java.
Green Forest Chickens in several areas in Indonesia are referred to as Canghegar or Cangehgar (Sundanese), Alas Chicken (Java), and Ajem Allas or Tarattah (Madura). Some of the mention of this name is the same as the mention of the Red Forest Chicken.
In English, Green Forest Chickens are referred to as Green Junglefowl, Javan Junglefowl, Forktail, or Green Javanese Junglefowl. Whereas in Latin (scientific), this chicken is named Gallus varius.
Description, Characteristics, and Habits. The Green Forest Chicken (Gallus gallus) is a large member of the bird class (Aves). Body length from head to tail reaches 60 cm (male) and 42 cm (female).
Male Green Forest Chicken (Gallus gallus). The comb on a rooster is not serrated, but rather rounded edges are red with a bluish color in the middle. The hairs on the neck, nape and coat are shiny green with blackish edges, looking like fish scales. The long, tapered hip feathers are golden yellow with a black center. The fur on the underside of the body has a black color, and the black tail is shiny greenish.
Female Green Forest Chickens have a smaller size than roosters with predominantly brownish yellow feathers with black stripes and spots.
Green Forest Chickens (Gallus gallus) live in groups (2-7 birds). During the day they forage for various grains, grass shoots and leaves, insects, as well as various kinds of small animals such as spiders, worms, frogs and small lizards.
Green Forest Chickens sleep on tree branches with a height of 1-4 meters. When breeding, Green Forest Chickens make nests on grass-lined soil between shrubs or tall grass. In one breeding, this chicken produces 5-10 whitish eggs.
What is unique about the Green Forest Chicken is its ability to fly.
Unlike the Red Forest Chicken, the Green Forest Chicken is able to fly vertically as high as 7 meters and fly horizontally (straight) up to a radius of several hundred meters.
The male Green Forest Chicken also has a distinctive crowing sound. The sound of the crow is loud and nasal. At first there is a sound of cek-kreh. consecutively several times like a sneeze, followed by a cek-ki kreh sound, 10 – 15 times, with a time delay of a few seconds, the longer the delay. Meanwhile, hens cackle like native chickens with a smaller and louder voice.
Female Green Forest Chickens (Gallus gallus)
Habitat, Distribution, and Conservation. Green Junglefowl likes open and grassy areas, forest edges and areas with low hills near the coast to an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level.
The ancestors of the bekisar chicken are endemic birds to Indonesia, which are limited to Java, Madura, Bali and the islands of Nusa Tenggara. The population of Green Forest Chicken (Gallus gallus) is not known with certainty, but it is estimated that it is still widely distributed in several areas. Therefore, the IUCN Redlist considers that the population is still safe so that it has included Green Forest Chickens in the Least Concern (Low Risk) conservation status since 1988. In Indonesia, chickens called Green Javanese Junglefowl are also not one of the protected animals.
