What is a Bison?

Bison are strong, shaggy animals that live in grassy plains and forests. They are the largest land mammals in North America, with males weighing up to 2,000 pounds (around 900 kilograms). Bison have thick brown fur that keeps them warm in cold weather, and they use their curved horns to defend themselves and dig through snow for food. These animals live in herds and often communicate through low grunts or snorts. They eat grass and plants, spending most of their day grazing peacefully. Bison can live up to 20 years in the wild. Despite their size, they can run fast and even swim well. Their powerful presence makes them an important symbol of nature and conservation.
