Here's why:
* Size: Adult males can reach up to 10 feet in length, stand 6.5 feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh up to 2,200 pounds. That makes them the largest wild cattle in the world!
* Habitat: They are found in the forests and grasslands of South and Southeast Asia.
* Appearance: They have a dark brown to black coat, a large hump over their shoulders, and distinctive white markings on their legs and chest.
While the American Bison is also a large bovine, the Gaur is generally larger and heavier, making it the undisputed champion in size.
