    Nice image Sankar, this is a huge bull. Did you try a full image?
    It's quite common on the Ooty highway to see Gaurs and Elephants crossing.

    Its a Gaur. Scientific name is Bos gaurus.

    Bison are found in USA and to a lesser extent in Europe (where they are virtually being wiped out).

    The males can be as high as 6 feet on the shoulder level and weighing about 1100 kgs. Pretty impressive fellows. They are larger than the American and European Bison and the cape buffalows in Africa.

    A wider angle would have been better in capturing its feet and shoulder.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Nice eye contact. I liked the details on the body. Agree including the feet in full would have enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing.
