What a European bison’s height measures
Drawn at the same 5 ft 11 in: Dromedary camel, Rhinoceros and Aurochs. Same drawing, different listings: a European bison’s and a dromedary camel’s figures are each the lower end of its male range, a rhinoceros’ and an aurochs’ each a maximum.
This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
