Still not very clear. The photos are centred on the heroic forest guards, not the animal.

Re: Bus driver found transporting 150kg of live wildlife
Does someone know how it is possible that "Military Police" stopped this particular bus and found these animals? Mostly they are too lazy to get off there ass to do anything besides look at their mobile phones underneath a shady tree unless there is money coming their way. Some one didn't fill the tea box properly?

Re: Bus driver found transporting 150kg of live wildlife
https://www.britannica.com/animal/kouprey#ref46913Alternative Title: Bos sauveli
Kouprey (Bos sauveli), elusive wild ox (tribe Bovini, family Bovidae) of Indochina and one of the world’s most endangered large mammals, if it is not already extinct.
http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/2890/0Date last seen: last absolute confirmed date is 1969/70
So it's probably not a kouprey. Could it be a gaur ?

http://www.arkive.org/kouprey/bos-sauveli/ says it was last seen in 1988.
Could also be Banteng or Gaur.
