History

Scientific Name: Bison bison Approx. Size: 5 ft. at the shoulder, 2,000 lb. Diet: Prairie grasses Bison are massive, shaggy cattle that once inhabited the central plains of North America in the hundreds of millions. The Native Americans of the plains relied heavily on the migrating herds. Native Americans, grizzly bears, and, later, European settlers were the only hunters capable of slaying bison. Bison have huge heads with short curved horns and a large, heavily furred hump at their shoulders. Calfs born with white fur are very rare; they are significant in Native American traditions and are greeted with ceremony and prayer.
