Banteng grow to about 1.6 metres at the shoulder and weigh 600-800 kilograms. Banteng have white stockings on their lower legs, a white rump and whise patches around their eyes and muzzle, however there is considerable sexual dimorphismSexual dimorphism is the systematic difference in form between individuals of different sex in the same species. For example, in some species, including many mammals, the male is larger than the female. In others, such as some spiders, the female is large. Males have a blue-black or dark chestnut coat, long upward arching horns and a hump over the shoulders. Females, however, have a reddish brown coat, small horns, which point inwards at the tips and no hump.

Banteng live in sparse forest where they feed on grasses, bamboo, fruit, leaves and yound branches. The Banteng is generally active both at night and day time but in places where humans are common they adopt a nocturnal schedule. Banteng tend to gather in herds of two to thirty members.

Banteng have been domesticated in several places in Southeast AsiaSoutheast Asia is a subregion of Asia. It includes all of the following territories: Brunei Cambodia East Timor Indonesia Laos Malaysia Myanmar (Burma) Philippines Singapore Thailand Vietnam Southeast Asia has an area of 1. 6 million sq miles (4,000,000 k, and there are around 1.5 million domestic banteng. Domestic and wild banteng can mate and offspring are often fertile.

Worldwide their are unlikely to be more than 8000 Banteng, and possibly less than 5000 and banteng populations are very sparse. This is mostly due to habitat loss and possibly poaching.
