Wood Bison found in the subarctic boreal forest of southern Nunavut are adapted to the colder climate with their thick hair coat, external layer of fat and ability to efficiently digest coarse roughage that comprises of mainly sedges and some grasses for energy and nutrition. They also sift through deep snow with their heads in the winter to get at the grasses and sedges underneath. With the encouragement of predators, bison will move from one area to another, grazing and foraging for food as they move along.
