Size comparisons

[Jimmy]

@Rishi good editing and analysis ^ you have made. u could have also created a loose dewlap for cape. ...anyway, So for gaur there are basically four things 1)Head crown 2)steep hump 3)Dewlap and also usually 4)small beared that creates an illusion of a "thinned out neck" in between them. I made this for size comparision just visually. i think like their body design and variation among different bovine species, cape buffalo still has slightly larger neck at parity, bison is hard to predict although they appear to have the largest neck we don't exactly know how much is actually muscle and how much is obscured by it's skin folds or hair.

I put a vertical line on the neck based on gaur's, cape's neck girth appers as large as gaur although it is a smaller animal-this again, the fold of the skin is clearly visible and in actual muscle anatomy would appear thinner than this.
@Spalea yeah maybe in your eyes to me cape appears more rugged with wrinkles all around and maybe buffaloe's habbit -wallowing, covered in mud etc, gaur's appear neat. check this out
