Banteng
- ... that the banteng is the first endangered species whose clone survived beyond infancy? Sources – [1] quote: "ACT participated in the only other endangered species cloning, that of a gaur calf that died two days after birth from an infection". [2] quote: "The only other member of an endangered species ever cloned - a cattle-like Asian gaur, born in January 2001 - died of an infection less than two days after birth."
- ALT1:... that the banteng is the second endangered species to be successfully cloned, and the first to survive beyond infancy? Sources same as ALT0
Improved to Good Article status by Sainsf (talk). Self-nominated at 13:52, 16 May 2020 (UTC).
Article became GA recently enough. Long enough, generally within policy. No copyvio, neutrality, or referencing issue found. Hook is present in article, is interesting, and verifiable. QPQ is done. A query, as I am a lay reader: the lead describes it as a wild cattle, but the same paragraph also mentions that wild bantengs have domesticated counterparts. Is it not contradictory to describe it as a wild species if there are domesticated and wild populations? HaEr48 (talk) 03:57, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- HaEr48, thanks for reviewing this. You've made a good point, "wild cattle" for some reason is the common name of Bovini members, and can be removed if it causes confusion. This seems to be the only place where we say "wild cattle", elsewhere there is always a distinction between the wild and the domesticated. I have now reworded that line.

Thank you for the clarification. Good to go. HaEr48 (talk) 15:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
