I bet it is potentially one of the biggest gaurs in india.(04-28-2020, 09:56 PM)parvez Wrote: @TigrisLeo504 Nooo. I was reading an article. Got it from there. Doesn't it appear massive?

There is a 36'' Horn spread Gaur that was 1106KG One in Kanha that was said to be the largest killed by a Tiger was 24'' and they claimed the world world record was 31 1/2'' *Ward 1922* How the spread is measured will need to be interpreted to actual compare.

I was reading the newest book about bovids of José R. Castelló (2016) and he only says that gaurs of that area (Bos gaurus laosiensis) are taller at the shoulder, but not bigger over all. Did anyone had the source of this claim? Just checking.

I'll look around to see if I can find it. |
