The life span of the American bison is 20 years in the wild and up to 40 years in captivity. The American bison has a hump on its shoulders.

Most estimates range between 50 to 100 million animals. They were, however, the economic cornerstone of the Native peoples of the plains who utilized almost every part of the animal to provide food, shelter, weapons, utensils, and ornamentation. A large bull may stand 2 m high at the shoulder and weigh 910 kg. Among the predators, only the grizzly bear is strong enough to kill an adult bull. Bison are equipped with a keen sense of smell which is capable of detecting odours up to a mile away. They also have excellent eyesight and are quite at ease in the water. They have been known to live for up to 40 years. Home Discover Nature!

A REMARKABLE article recently appeared in the Scientific American, written by Prof. Chas. F. Holder, entitled, "A Crime of a Century," in which is described the extermination, the wiping out of the American bison. "In 1870, and later," said an army officer, "the plains were alive with bison, and in crossing at places I had difficulty in avoiding them, so vast were the herds. If anyone had told me then that in twenty or thirty years they would have become almost entirely extinct I should have regarded the statement as that of an insane person." We are able to corroborate this statement. In August, 1869, while crossing the Kansas plains in a stagecoach we had the privilege, as we regard it now, of seeing one of the largest herds of buffalo th Read More Go to Site bison — FactMonster.com Votes:0 Home World & News U.S. People Word Wise Science Math & Money Sports Cool Stuff Games & Quizzes Homework Center Fact Monster Favorites American Indian Heritage Month Thanksgiving Say Thank You Advent Hanukkah Pearl Harbor Day Campaign 2008 Presidential Factfile International Space Station Most Polluted Places in the World Harry Potter Page Ranger's Apprentice NFL Team Profiles Fact Monster Blog!

The population was devastated and reduced by a few million and the Buffalo Bison found itself on the verge of extinction. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Buffalo Bison started to recover.
