Resembling the modern bison species, especially the American wood bison (Bison bison athabascae), [9] the steppe bison was over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall at the withers, reaching 900 kg (2,000 lb) in weight. [10] The tips of the horns were a meter apart, the horns themselves being over half a meter long.
Because only skulls and horns of this species have been found well preserved, the size of B. latifrons is currently not clearly known. Based on leg bones, the mass of B. latifrons has been estimated to be 25-50 percent larger than that of modern B. bison, making it undoubtedly one of the largest-ever ruminants.
The European bison (pl.: bison) (Bison bonasus) or the European wood bison, also known as the wisent [a] (/ ˈ v iː z ə n t / or / ˈ w iː z ə n t /), the zubr [b] (/ ˈ z uː b ə r /), or sometimes colloquially as the European buffalo, [c] is a European species of bison.

These include arrow points, awls, beads, berry pounders, hide scrapers, hoes, needles from bones, spoons from the horns, bow strings and thread from the sinew, waterproof containers from the bladder, paint brushes from the tail and bones with intact marrow ...
