Why is a buffalo brown?

Answer 1

A buffalo is brown because it spends most of its time on the prairie. The vegetation on the prairie is colors of browns and yellows much of the year. This color helps them and their calves to hide. It is also a darker color, which helps them to absorb sun in the winter.

Answer 2

Actually, buffalo (and bison) are dark brown, not black. The reason they are always this colour is because of genetics: There have been no real mutations in these animals that will cause anything except brown, like what we commonly see in domestic cattle. However, there have been rare instances of such a mutation occuring, giving rise to what the Native Americans consider sacred because of its rarity: the White Buffalo, or a bison born as an albino.
