Description
Bison calf with possibly its parents. The American bison (Bison bison) is a North American species of bison, also commonly known as the American buffalo. A bison has a shaggy, long, dark brown winter coat, and a lighter weight, lighter brown summer coat. As typical in ungulates, the male bison is slightly larger than the female.The heads and forequarters are massive, and both sexes have short, curved horns, which they use in fighting for status within the herd and for defense. Bison are herbivores, grazing on the grasses and sedges of the North American prairies.
