Long distances, arid climate, inhospitable winds, wide temperature variations and generally restricted agricultural capacity. Bison see these limitations as home. Extensive grazing animals that have developed a rumen that will utilize a variety of grasses, can go long periods with little water, have learned to eat snow, have developed a thick hair coat to battle winds and cold and have a survival instinct second to none. We have also observed a highly variable metabolism developed over thousands of years to deal with the varying climatic conditions on the North American continent.
