We know something about this animal because there are found frozen carcasses found in the US and in Russia. The rest I have estimated of cave paintings from France and Spain. I took paintings from several caves and used the most characteristics colour and hair-masses that they had in common. For the body under the fur I used the modern-day Guar (Bos gaurus) ass an example. I have the idea that these animals resemble the B. priscus the best in musculature and appearance.

Also in this case the scientific guidance is done by Mr. Dick Mol.
