One free-ranging adult male Indian gaur (Bos gaurus gaurus) entered into a tea garden in Tarfat village, near Farkating of Jorhat district of Assam, India in May, 2020. Two villagers were injured during theirattempt to drive away the animal into the nearby wilderness areas. When this failed, the gaur necessitated chemical immobilization and translocation to a safer habitat.A combination of narcotic (etorphine HCl 9.8mg/ml) and neurleptic(butyrophenone) (azaparone 40mg/ml) wereselected as chemical anaesthetics. The immobilization cocktail of 6.86 (0.013 mg/Kg) of etorphine HCl + 80 (0.16 mg/kg) mg azaparone was taken in an air-pressurized 3 ml plastic dart. A single dart usingthe syringe projector Dan inject (CO2 powered) pressurized at 7 psi was fired at thegluteus maximus muscle from 15 metres distance. Induction was observed after five minutes of dartingand the down time was at 8 min 36 seconds showing effective narcolepsies. Though the animal was approachable in 10 minutes, it had to be physically restrained. Data for various physiological parameters were obtained at 15th, 35th and 50th minute of induction. The gaur was carried on a makeshift stretcher prepared with bamboo and wood and loaded in a transport vehicle. Antidote diprenorphine HCl (1.5 ml) was administered intramuscularly, whichrevived the animal in 5 minutes. It was then transported from the site of capture (N 260 29' 58.2" E 94001' 24.2") to the site of release (N 26030' 13.0" E 93056'28.0"), a distance of 15 km by road of the choice of theanaesthetics and reversalandthedose administered, appeared to be apt as no untowardafter-affect was noticed during the procedure.
