The kouprey (Bos sauveli), also known as the forest ox and grey ox, is a possibly extinct species of forest-dwelling wild bovine native to Southeast Asia. It was first scientifically described in 1937.
The name kouprey is derived from the Khmer language and means "forest ox".[4]
The kouprey is listed as Critically Endangered and possibly extinct on the IUCN Red List.[2] The last confirmed sighting of a wild individual took place in 1969.[5]
