American Bison

Description:

Weighing 2000 pounds, The American Bison is the largest terrestrial animal in the United States. These sure footed animals can move at 35 mph!

Habitat:

Bison once inhabited the North American plains and numbered in the millions. Today they are confined to a few national parks and other small wildlife areas. Yellowstone National Park has the largest population of free-roaming plains bison.
