'The nīla-gau (blue-bull) is another. It may stand as high as a horse but is somewhat lighter in build. The male is bluish-gray; hence, seemingly, people call it nīla-gau. It has two rather small horns. On its throat is a tuft of hair, nine inches (23 cm) long; in this it resembles the yak. Its hoof is cleft like the hoof of cattle. The doe is of the colour of the būghu-marāl; she, for her part, has no horns and is plumper than the male.
