I don't know does every cape has a dewlap, its maybe like a men with beards, if its compulsory than have to be taken into account. Unfourtunately in our zoo we don't have nore capes nore gaurs otherwise I'll get a meterstick, that's the only 100% guarantee  Lol

Of course it's different for every individual, degree may vary which is the reason why it is hard to know for sure without looking at the precise muscle anatomy, actually i had already told this before but nobody seem to notice, here is what i said

Quote:cape's neck girth appers as large as gaur although it is a smaller animal-this again, the fold of the skin(in cape) is clearly visible and in actual muscle anatomy would appear thinner than this

Wolverine Wrote:@Jimmy , actually the loose skin if I'm not wrong is more typical for cow-like cattle, especially zebu, not for buffaloes. I doubt that gaur has no any loose skin. Check in Indian and Nepali villages - the cows neck is more relaxed around the neck than in buffalos. A lot of domestic cattle has a dewlap

Yeah they are typical of cattle but it's slitly different than gaur's, and they are different (like bison and wisent) so will have structural difference and water buffalo are not cape they don't have any dewlaps waht so ever. In most gaurs the neckline is much clearly seen, in cape it's more rough and folded so it's hard to know. here are different variation of cape dewlap and there would be many in between them
this one has a more pendulous beard and creates illusion of a neck depression right behind it.
