American Bison

A American bison (Bison bison) is a large, hoofed mammal native to North America. It is the largest land animal on the continent and is known for its massive size, its shaggy coat, and its distinctive shoulder hump. 🦬

The American bison has a massive body with a large head, a short neck, and a prominent hump on its shoulders. Its coat is a thick, shaggy fur that is typically a dark brown color. Both males and females have a pair of short, curved horns that they use for defense.

American bison were once found throughout the grasslands of North America, but now are mostly confined to national parks and protected areas. They are herbivores, and their diet consists of a wide variety of grasses and forbs.

American bison are a social species that live in large herds. They are known for their spectacular stampedes, which they use to escape from predators. The bison was once hunted to the brink of extinction but has made a remarkable recovery thanks to conservation efforts.
