North American Bison


Click on image to enlarge...

This is my 5th page of an album I am making documenting all of our trips to the wild safari at Six Flags Great Adventure this summer.

The American Bison has a keen sense of smell, eyes that can detect movement up to a mile away and the ability to run as fast as a horse. A fully mature male can weigh 2100 lbs or more - a newborn calf weighs only 30 lbs. In the spring, the bison begin to shed their coats and rub their bodies against any object they can find.
=Largest animal in America=Commonly known as Buffalo
=Can smell water and enemies as far as three miles away
=Social animals that live in groups of up to 200
