The American bison, also called the buffalo, is a large mammal native to North America. These massive grazing animals once roamed the plains in huge herds. In the past, they covered areas from Alaska to Florida.

Bison were a vital food and tool source for Indigenous peoples. By the late 19^th century, hunting and disease nearly wiped out the species. Their numbers fell from millions to just a few hundred. Thanks to early conservation efforts, these iconic animals made a strong comeback. Today, protected herds live in parks and wild areas.

The American bison is the heaviest land mammal in North America. Big males can weigh up to two thousand pounds. They have a thick fur coat that keeps them warm in deep winter snow. This dark brown coat sheds during the hot summer months.

Bison are very fast runners despite their massive size. They can run at speeds up to thirty-five miles per hour. They can also jump over high fences with ease. Both males and females grow sharp, curved horns for defense.
