Bottom to top 38" 40" 42" and 60"
That 60, really it's 60 3/4 one side and 60 7/8 the other side but is Amazing.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Huvius60" puts him well into Giant Sable territory and positively huge for a Hippotragus Niger.
I also am interested in where this sable was taken.
I dropped a 45" sable off for restoration yesterday which is big, but I can't imagine a 60 incher!

BigUglyManThat's a definite "Holy Shithooks" sable. 60"??? Shithooks indeed!
