Very unlucky, to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That wound will sting for a while.

Jeez. What are the odds of that happening? There are probably only like 6 of those animals left in the world. The odds are probably worse than winning the Spanish El Gordo lottery while getting hit by lightning and by a falling meteor, all simultaneously.

Gaur.
Bantengs, they seem to vary widely in appearance though:
