Known by many names, including the American buffalo, the bison is an iconic symbol of the North American plains. Its scientific name is Bison bison, but the animal is often colloquially referred to as buffalo, a term that originated with early French explorers. This large bovine is the biggest land mammal in North America, with males, or bulls, weighing up to 2,000 pounds. The American bison is easily recognizable by its massive head, prominent shoulder hump, and thick, shaggy coat, which provides insulation against harsh winter weather. This incredible adaptation allows the bison to thrive in the coldest climates of its native grasslands and prairies. Once numbering in the tens of millions, these magnificent prairie mammals were nearly driven to extinction in the 19th century, but bison conservation efforts have helped their populations rebound. They are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses and sedges. Their nomadic grazing behavior and habit of wallowing in dirt creates micro-habitats that support other plant and animal life, making them a crucial keystone species for the prairie ecosystem. The social structure of bison herds is fascinating, with females and their young forming tight-knit groups, while males live alone or in bachelor herds. Despite their massive size, bison are surprisingly agile and can run at speeds up to 40 miles per hour. These powerful and unpredictable animals are a testament to the wild spirit of the American West and their restoration is a major conservation success story.
