I’ve read some sites saying up to 7 feet which is massive .also how much did the steppe bison weigh I read that scientists are working on bringing them back and Britain is planning on getting bison reintroduced after 6,000 years of them being abscent . https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/wild-bison-to-roam-englands-woodlands-first-time-6000-years-2020-7%3famp

The maximum height measured in a gaur in India was of 192 cm "between pegs", and the height to the hump is of 204 cm also "between pegs". There are reports of taller gaurs in Indochina and China (up to 220 cm) but are not corroborated or as far I know, it is not stated if they were actually measured between pegs or not. The next image will show you the size of the biggest gaur ever recorded in India, specifically in the Cooch Behar region:

The estimation of weights of the Bison latifrons, argubly the biggest bovid ever, range from 1,250 to 2,000 kg, depending of the source. The shoulder height (actually the hump height) reported for this animal is up to 250 cm. Reply
