The American bison Bison bison, also commonly known as the American buffalo or simply buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 1. Their historical range roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canadas far northwest, south to the Mexicanstates of Durango and Nuevo Len, and east to the Atlantic Seaboard of the United States nearly to the Atlantictidewater in some areas from New York to Georgia and per some sources down to Florida. Bison were seen in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1. Two subspecies or ecotypes have been described the plains bison B. B. b. athabascaethe larger of the two and having a taller, square hump. Furthermore, the plains bison has been suggested to consist of a northern B. However, this is generally not supported. The wood bison is one of the largest wild species of bovid in the world, surpassed by only the Asian gaur and wild water buffalo. It is the largest extant land animal in the Americas. The American bison is the national mammal of the United States. Etymology. The term buffalo is sometimes considered to be a misnomer for this animal, and could be confused with true buffalos, the Asian water buffalo and the African buffalo. However, bison is a Greek word meaning ox like animal, while buffalo originated with the French fur trappers who called these massive beasts bufs, meaning ox or bullockso both names, bison and buffalo, have a similar meaning. The name buffalo is listed in many dictionaries as an acceptable name for American buffalo or bison. In reference to this animal, the term buffalo dates to 1. North American usage when the term was first recorded for the American mammal. It thus has a much longer history than the term bison, which was first recorded in 1. The American bison is very closely related to the wisent or European bison. In Plains Indian languages in general, male and female buffaloes are distinguished, with each having a different designation rather than there being a single generic word covering both sexes. Thus in Arapaho bii buffalo cow, hencee buffalo bullin Lakota pt buffalo cow, tatka buffalo bullSuch a distinction is not a general feature of the language for example, Arapaho possesses gender neutral terms for other large mammals such as elk, mule deer, etc., and so presumably is due to the special significance of the buffalo in Plains Indian life and culture. Description. A bison has a shaggy, long, dark brown winter coat, and a lighter weight, lighter brown summer coat. As is typical in ungulates, the male bison is slightly larger than the female and, in some cases, can be considerably heavier. Plains bison are often in the smaller range of sizes, and wood bison in the larger range. Head and body lengths range from 2 to 3. Shoulder heights in the species can range from 1. Weights can range from 3. Typical weight ranges in the species were reported as 4. Mature bulls tend to be considerably larger than cows. Cow weights have had reported medians of 4. The heaviest wild bull ever recorded weighed 1,2. When raised in captivity and farmed for meat, the bison can grow unnaturally heavy and the largest semidomestic bison weighed 1,7. The heads and forequarters are massive, and both sexes have short, curved horns that can grow up to 2 ft 6. Bison are herbivores, grazing on the grasses and sedges of the North American prairies. Their daily schedule involves two hour periods of grazing, resting, and cud chewing, then moving to a new location to graze again. Bison bulls of that age may try to mate with cows, but if more mature bulls are present, they may not be able to compete until they reach five years of age. For the first two months of life, calves are lighter in color than mature bison. One very rare condition is the white buffalo, in which the calf turns entirely white. Differences from European bison. Although they are superficially similar, the American and European bison exhibit a number of physical and behavioral differences. Adult American bison are slightly heavier on average because of their less rangy build, and have shorter legs, which render them slightly shorter at the shoulder. American bison tend to graze more, and browse less than their European relatives, because their necks are set differently. Compared to the nose of the American bison, that of the European species is set farther forward than the forehead when the neck is in a neutral position. The body of the American bison is hairier, though its tail has less hair than that of the European bison. Recipe For Chicken & Dumplings. The horns of the European bison point forward through the plane of its face, making it more adept at fighting through the interlocking of horns in the same manner as domestic cattle, unlike the American bison which favors charging. American bison are more easily tamed than the European, and breed more readily with domestic cattle. Evolution. The bovine family taurids and bisonids diverged from the common ancestral line with water buffalo and African buffalo about 5 to 1. Thereafter, the family lineage of bison and taurine cattle does not appear to be a straightforward tree structure as is often depicted in much evolution, because evidence exists of interbreeding and crossbreeding between different species and members within this family, even many millions of years after their ancestors separated into different species. This cross breeding was not sufficient to conflate the different species back together, but it has resulted in unexpected relationships between many members of this group, such as yak being related to American bison, when such relationships would otherwise not be apparent. A 2. 00. 3 study of mitochondrial DNA indicated four distinct maternal lineages in tribe. Bovini Taurine cattle and zebu. Wisent European bisonAmerican bison and yak2. Banteng, gaur, and gayal. However, Y chromosome analysis associated wisent and American bison. An earlier study using amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting showed a close association of wisent and American bison and probably with yak, but noted that the interbreeding of Bovini species made determining relationships problematic. It is shown, however, the wisent may have emerged by species divergence initiated by the introgression of bison bulls in a separate ancestral species,2. Last of the Canadian Bisons, 1. Steele and Company. The steppe bison Bison priscus diverged from the lineage that led to cattle Bos taurus about 2 to 5 million years ago. The bison genus is clearly in the fossil record by 2 million years ago. The steppe bison spread across Eurasia and was the bison that was pictured in the ancient cave paintings of Spain and Southern France. The European bison arose from the steppe bison, without fossil evidence of other ancestral species between the steppe bison and the European bison, though the European bison might have arisen from the lineage that led to American bison if that lineage backcrossed with the steppe bison. Again, the web of relationships is confusing, but some evidence shows the European bison is descended from bison that had migrated from Asia to North America, and then back to Europe, where they crossbred with existing steppe bison. At one point, some steppe bison crossbred with the ancestors of the modern yak. After that cross, a population of steppe bison Bison priscus crossed the Bering Land Bridge to North America. Evidence has been found of multiple crossings of bison to and from Asia starting before 5. The steppe bison spread through the northern parts of North America and lived in Eurasia until roughly 1. North America until 4,0. Bison latifrons giant bison or longhorn bison is thought to have evolved in midcontinent North America from B. North America. 3.
