The wood bison has adapted to the taiga ecozone through several key traits. It has a thick, shaggy coat that provides insulation against the cold temperatures and harsh winters typical of this region. Additionally, its large size and robust build help it navigate the snowy terrain, while its diet includes grasses, sedges, and other vegetation that thrive in the taiga. These adaptations enable the wood bison to survive and thrive in the challenging conditions of its habitat.
