Very strong. They're not small by any standards, they're the largest species of buffalo. But real measurements as to how strong a gaur is is nigh impossible to obtain since they are wild animals.
The American Bison is a large land animal, one of the largest land animals in North America, next to the moose. Bison have a large horny hump over their shoulders and necks which is covered in dense, curly dark-brown hair. This hair runs from the nose to the middle of the back, and to the middle of the belly. The rump of the bison has a smoother hair coat and is not nearly as thick as what's on the front.
Bison do not have prominent ears like cattle do, but they are there, they're just tiny and hidden in the mass of hair. It can be fun for a first-time bison producer to find when he or she has to put an ear-tag on a bison cow or bull.
The head of a bison is large and broad, with a nose that points straight down, unlike at a an angle like with domestic cattle, Cape Buffalo and Water Buffalo. The forehead is broad, built to take impact when fighting with other bison (especially for rutting bulls). The nose of a bison is black, moist and shiny and looks just like the nose from a cow. The horns are black, hollow and short, and curve upwards. The horns are not made of keratin like in cattle, but of hair, but are still hard and tough enough to deliver a devastating blow to any predator that comes too close to the animal's head.
The thick hair goes down half way to the bison's front legs, and hangs off in the back of the front legs like sleeves. The back legs do not have this thick hair. Bison are cloven-hooved animals (or, have two toes) with dewclaws on each foot.
Bison also have a tail similar to that of a lion's or a cow's. They hold it straight up in the air when they are panicky, agitated and about to run away.
What is a threat to a buffalo?
Buffalo are hunted by gray wolves. Calves may also be killed by grizzly bears. However, bison populations are only at risk due to restricted habitat. Their habitat is small because humans use most of the land that bison use to live on. Humans are the biggest threat to bison.
Why is William generally called as Bill?
I've always had the same question too. It does seem rather strange doesn't it? Now I don't know if this correct but I thought I'd share something I'd discovered as an American in Moscow, Russia.Sometimes my lower intermediate level Russian students have spelling mix-ups when spelling English words on paper. In the Russian and English alphabet there are many letters that resemble one another but take on completely different sounds.I found that when you spell "William" shortened to "Will" in Russian) since it's not a name that rolls of the tongue so easily in the Russian language) Using the Russian alphabet, the "W" is replaced by a "B". In the Russian alphabet and the Russian "B" is closest to the English "W" sound.So maybe there was a spelling mix-up that led to the nickname for Will or William to become what we pronounce as "Bill" this way. After all it is a common name in English speaking part of Europe and they are neighboring countries.

What are the physical properties of a buffalo?
The American bison is quite large and hairy. Usually they are seven feet high or so (don't quote me on that) as well as have horns. Most of the time they are quite docile, but when threatened they will be aggresive and protect their young. The African wate buffalo has very tough skin and is also large, with large ears used to cool off the animal. They obviously have hooves and a long tail that shoos flies away. They are also horned and have larger eyes.

Who would win in a fight bison or bull?
Well, Let's be clear as to what we are talking about here. A Bison is a large hooved mammal belonging to Bovinae Sub Family of the bovidae Family of animals. They are Bovines, like yaks and cows (cattle). There are two existing species, The American Bison and the European Bison. There 4 known extinct species.
A Bull is the male of any of this family of animals
If you are asking who would win a fight? I would say put two male Bison in a pit with a breeding female. My guess is the larger more testosterone soaked male will win his ladies affection. So the answer is the larger hornier Bison will win making both the Bison and the Bull the winner. This by the way was a trick answer since bison and bull aren't describing different animals.
