The bison (Bison bison) or American bison is a North American mammal in the family of the caveman (Bovidae). The animal is heavily built with a high shoulder hump, a large heavy head, a short thick neck and a broad forehead. Head, neck, shoulders and front legs are long and hairy. The rest of the body is covered with shorter and lighter hair. The chin contains a feral beard. The animal has a shoulder height of 1.90 metres and the length of the bull is almost 3 metres. The tail length is 30 to 60 cm. The bison can reach a speed of up to 50 km/h.
American bison live to be about 25 years old. Their brown to black fur consists of two layers: a warm inner layer and a thick, protective outer layer. This thick coat is not an unnecessary luxury, as they are also found in mountainous areas where they are exposed to extremely low temperatures. American bison cubs are upright within 30 minutes of birth. A few hours later they can already walk.
