All about Gaur (Bos gaurus)

[GuateGojira]

Ok, I think that I found the source of that claim. It seems that there is a book from E. C. Foenander called "Big game of Malaya: their types, distribution and habits" from 1952. Sadly I can't see the preview of the book, just fragments, but it seems that it discuss the record of 2,700 lb from Rowland Ward. Probably there is more information as this summary of the book, presented by the JBNHS Vol. 51 mentions that the discussion is in page 10 and 11, check this:

So, I guess that this is the source of the claim that gaurs of Indochina region are bigger, but I would like to see what is the conclution about that huge weight "cleaned" for the gaur.

If someone can check that book it will be perfect. Reply
