How much bigger is a bison than a human?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Small dinosaurs were much smaller than humans. Epidexipteryx was only 9.8 inches long and weighed a few ounces. The largest well known dinosaur, Argentinosaurus, was 100 to 115 feet long and weighed 50 to 73 tons. That's as long as 19 men laying end to end, and as heavy as 975 people!

How are Buffalo horns made into spoons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Powder Horns are made by cleaning out the inside and sanding down the inside of the horn to make them lighter and translucent (so you can see the amount of powder in it when held up to the light). A hole is drilled from the pointed end into the hollow horn. The large end is plugged and the tip is finished with a removal plug. Buffalo horns are large diameter and heavy. I've seen one that was flattened so it appeared more like a flask. Otherwise, there is no real difference in making a powder horn from a buffalo horn.

How do bison differ from buffalo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not too much, really. Bison are commonly referred to as the large-humped, small hollow-horned, furry-headed beasts that existed by the millions on the Great Plains (called the Plains or American Bison I believe) and are also found up in northern Canada as Woodlands Bison. Bison of North America are also called Buffalo, but bison has been created as a more proper term, since there are "true" buffalo that exist in the world, such as the Cape Buffalo and the Water Buffalo, both found in Africa and India, respectively.

On the humorous side

There really isn't any difference, with the exception that you cannot wash your hands in a buffalo.

Think about it a bit. You have to be British to understand the differentiation.
