Best Answer

If you are asking about the true Bison i.e., Bison bonasus, it is not found in India. However Gaur, Bos gaurus is known as Indian Bison and it is common throughout the jungles of India, especially in Western Ghat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh etc.

The gaur is a strong and massively built species with a high convex ridge on the forehead between the horns, which bends forward, causing a deep hollow in the profile of the upper part of the head. There is a prominent ridge on the back. The ears are very large; the tail only just reaches the hocks, and in old bulls the hair becomes very thin on the back. In colour, the adult male gaur is dark brown, approaching black in very old individuals; the upper part of the head, from above the eyes to the nape of the neck, is, however, ashy grey, or occasionally dirty white; the muzzle is pale coloured, and the lower part of the legs are pure white or tan.
