Herds, made up of cows, their calves, and periodically bulls, are always led by a mature cow. [9] Kouprey are active, if nervous, animals, being quick to flee if approached. [12]
The kouprey was not included in Simpson's taxonomy, while Bohlken (1958) considered the species to be a hybrid between banteng and cattle. Below is the Simpson (1945) taxonomy: Subtribe Bovina (Gray, 1821) Genus Bibos (Hodgson, 1837) Bibos javanicus (d’Alton, 1823) – Banteng; Bibos gaurus (Hamilton-Smith, 1827) – Gaur
