Description

The American bison and the European bison are the largest surviving terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. They are cloven hooved mammals, and are similar in appearance to other bovines such as cattle and true buffalo. Bison are broad and muscular with shaggy coats of long hair. European bison tend to be taller than American bison.

Bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds. The bulls leave the herds of females at two or three years of age, and join a herd of males, which are generally smaller than female herds. Mature bulls rarely travel alone. Toward the end of the summer, for the reproductive season, the sexes will commingle.

Tip of horns to nose is approximately 24 inches. The skull is approximately 25.5 inches at its widest point  (tip to tip of horns.
