We are in Year 2!

Welcome to American Bison Class

 

 

Bison are the iconic image of the Great Plains and the Old West. They are massive, shaggy beasts and the heaviest land animals in North America.

Despite their hefty size, bison are quick on their feet. When the need arises, they can run at speeds up to 35 miles an hour. Their curved, sharp horns can grow to be 2 feet long.

Females (cows) and adult males (bulls) generally live in small, separate bands and come together in very large herds during the summer breeding season.
