I find this comparison picture odd. You haven´t used averages or biggest possible measurements. This is like some random shoulder heights and then just scaling up some random photo to that height or am I mistaken? When making these comparisons this way it would be interesting to have some idea in what way comparison is made. And good to remember that shoulder height is one thing and body length another.

Scaled according to average shoulder/hump heights. From the data I collected, cape buffaloes were around 5ft tall at shoulders on average.

Not much was known about water buffalo, its a pretty understudied animal. A good friend helped me, and used an cape buffalo based equation to get an average height of 178cms

Gaurs, 196cms at top of the hump, taken from Guate's data

Wood bison data, again from my friend who helped me earlier Reply
