==Description==
The wisent stands between 5 to 7 feet at the shoulder, and weighs up to 2,000 pounds. Body length is just over 10 feet, excluding the tail. The color of the animal is a uniform brown throughout. The extinct subspecies ''B. b. caucasicus'' was slightly smaller, with a warm sepia color to the coat.

The wisent differs from its American relative in having a leaner look; the shoulder hump is less-pronounced, giving the back an almost straight appearance. The tail is longer and hangs down to below the fetlocks, while the body hair is shorter; in the American bison there is a well-defined dark shaggy area forward of the chest, something the wisent lacks.
