There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This last one got me confused with the large rocks. Turns out it's from San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Good thing they keep them like that.

Hmm. If you assume his head to be ATLEAST 2 feet, scale the remaining length. EASILY 11feet gaur excluding tail. I bet it is potentially one of the biggest gaurs in india.

There is a 36'' Horn spread Gaur that was 1106KG

One in Kanha that was said to be the largest killed by a Tiger was 24'' and they claimed the world world record was 31 1/2'' *Ward 1922*

How the spread is measured will need to be interpreted to actual compare.

I am interesting to know what is the source of that claim. I was reading the newest book about bovids of José R. Castelló (2016) and he only says that gaurs of that area (Bos gaurus laosiensis) are taller at the shoulder, but not bigger over all.

Did anyone had the source of this claim? Just checking. Wink

I wish I could find it, but there was a Gaur from either Thailand or Vietnam that weighed 1700kg, if I'm remembering correctly.
I'll look around to see if I can find it.
