Remarkable Traits of North American Bison

Bison are the largest land mammals in North America, grazing on native prairie grasses for several hours each day. Their thick coat of fur insulates them against harsh winter winds and heavy snowstorms. Despite their heavy build, these herbivores are surprisingly agile and can run at speeds up to thirty-five miles per hour.

Natural Colors of the Bison

  • Shaggy head and mane: dark chocolate brown
  • Body coat: medium brown or reddish brown
  • Horns and hooves: dark charcoal gray or black
  • Eyes: deep brown
  • Meadow grass: earthy green or dry yellow
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What do bison eat during different seasons in the wild?
Bison primarily consume grasses, sedges, and low-growing foliage. During winter months, they use their heavy heads to sweep away deep snow and reach buried vegetation underneath.
Why do bison have a large hump on their shoulders?
The shoulder hump consists of powerful muscles supported by elongated vertebrae. These strong muscles allow the bison to plow through snowdrifts and hold up their massive heads during grazing.
How do bison communicate with the rest of their herd?
Bison use deep grunts, snorts, and tail positions to signal their feelings to nearby herd members. A raised tail often indicates excitement or alertness within the group.
