The American bison, also known as the American buffalo, is a large and iconic mammal native to North America. American bison have a distinctive appearance with their shaggy brown fur, massive head, and curved horns. They are known for their incredible size and strength, with adult males weighing up to 2,000 pounds and standing up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder. American bison are well-adapted to survive in harsh environments, such as grasslands, prairies, and forests, and have a keen sense of smell and hearing. They are herbivores and graze on grasses and other plant materials. American bison are social animals that typically live in large herds, and they have a complex social structure. They have played a significant role in Native American cultures, as a symbol of strength, resilience, and spirituality. Today, American bison are protected and managed in conservation areas and national parks, and they are also raised for their meat, hides, and other products in some ranching operations.
