Скачать или смотреть Syncerus Antiquus vs African Elephant, Giraffe and Human in Size Comparison

Syncerus antiquus is an extinct species of buffalo from the Late Pleistocene and Holocene of Africa.
It was one of the largest species in its family, potentially weighing up to 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb).
Due to this fact, it is sometimes known as the African giant buffalo.

Pelorovis resembled an African buffalo, although it was larger and possessed longer, curved horns. Pelorovis probably weighed about 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb), with the largest males attaining 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb). This ranks it as one of the largest bovines, and indeed one of the largest ruminants ever to have lived, rivalling the extinct American long-horned bison (Bison latifrons), and the extinct Asiatic giraffid Sivatherium giganteum, as well as the extant African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) in weight.
