Plains bison and wood bison are two distinct subspecies of American bison, primarily differentiated by their habitat and physical characteristics. Plains bison are typically found in open grasslands and have a more robust build with a larger hump and shorter legs, while wood bison inhabit forested areas and are generally taller and leaner, with a smaller hump. Additionally, wood bison are less social and tend to form smaller herds compared to the more gregarious plains bison. Conservation status also varies, with wood bison being classified as a threatened species in some areas.
