Herds - Bison usually travel in small bands of twenty or more searching for grass to eat. The leader is an older stronger male. The small groups form larger herds when they are migrating. The larger the herd, the safer they are.
Horns - They rub the horns against trees or even against rocks to keep the horns sharp and polished.
Senses - Bison have excellent senses of hearing and smell to alert them of dangers. It is difficult to sneak up on a bison. The wide flat nose picks up the scent and the bison is always listening for any unusual sounds. They have poor eyesight.
Defense - When bison are alarmed, they run (stampede) or defend themselves with their sharp horns. Or, Instead of stampeding they might surround the young.
Nose - Besides having a keen sense of smell, the bison uses its nose for pushing away the snow and uncovering the grass that lies underneath.
Fur coat - Bison actually have two coats in one. There is a layer of underfur close to the body for trapping warm air next to the skin. The thick outer coat sheds water and keeps out the wind. In spring the bison sheds the winter coat.
Migration - For the winter, bison migrate to valleys and wooded areas to find shelter from the cold winter storms.
Wallowing - The bison is bothered by insect pests which bite or lay eggs on the fur. Wallowing (or rolling on the ground ) helps to get rid of the pests, and also helps to rub off the loose patches of fur.
Tail - looks like a rope. It makes a great fly swatter.
