Buffalo and Bison

The animal provides humans with food. WIthout them we would have no meat. Animals also help the ecosystem stay balanced. If you've ever watched the lion King and paied attention to Mufassah (i think that's spelt wrong) you would understand that some animals eat plants and some eat other animals. when animals do their buisness they return nutruents that the plants use to grow. they also return these nuturents when they die and degrade.

In the early 1860s. New treaties forced Native Americans to give up land around pikes peak.

Yes! Bison is just the scientific name for a buffalo. I am a bisonology expert!

Half as long as two buffalos, nobody really knows. they are all different sizes...

The name of the male carabao is carabao. The female caribao is called a carabella. These animals live in the Philippines.

One source lists Heifers (females) at $1500 each and Bulls (males) at $1200 each, with a minimum purchase of four calves. These are young animals, adult animals are going to sell for significantly more.

Buffalo off the hoof, depending on the cut of meat, can sell on average for anywhere from $10 to $75 a pound.

There were at least two million bison at one time, before settlers began moving westward.

The American bison is pregnant for about 285 days, or 9 1/2 months.

The horns of a buffalo were commonly used as containers or makeshift cups from which to drink from. Simple as...

there are lots of weights for frog it matters how they eat and where they live...................................................... they weigh about 20 to 55 or so.

African Cape Buffalo live in Africa. Asian Water Buffalo live in Asia. American bison live in the USA and Canada, in various provincial, state and national parks, as well as on bison ranches. Bison like living in open grasslands and prairies, or open meadows. Wood bison could also live in sparse woods with enough grass for them to graze on for a period of time before they move on again. Cape and Water Buffalo love living in and near water sources.

The bison that stay in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks are, of course, protected since there is no hunting within national parks. Any who stray out of the parks, however, are generally hazed back into the parks, slaughtered by the government, or hunted.

There are already far less than the 1800's since the natives hunted them all. However if they became extint there would mainly just be less for animals to eat, and we (as humans) would no longer be able to eat bison, which is a common meal as strange as that may sound. Then leading to possibly cows becoming extinct.

Not intentionally. However when there are hoards of grasshoppers around and when some can't fly away in time, they will get eaten along with the grass that bison graze, especially if there is more than one bison grazing in the same area.

According to the related link below, bison have 30 pairs of chromosomes, so 60 chromosomes in total.

Wild North American Bison are primarily located in National Parks, most notably, Yellowstone.

No. A buffalo may be a dangerous animal with its size and its horns and its bad temper, but buffalos only eat grass.

Actually, ANY animal with horns or antlers is always a herbivore, not a predator.

You can also tell because predators always have sharp teeth, and their eyes always face the front (like humans' do) instead of being on the side of their head (like rabbits').

Yes. Bison are known to be the largest land mammal and the largest herbivore in North America. Bulls often weigh over 2000 lbs (or one ton). Moose, on the other hand, may be the largest species of cervid (deer) in the world, but are really the second or third-largest land mammal, with bulls weighing between 1600 and 1800 lbs. Bull moose tend to weigh more when they have a full set of antlers, less if they're young bulls.

American Bison were brought back from the brink of extinction after extensive over hunting and introduced illness left the total population at around 100 individuals. With continued proper management in the wild and the continued commercial demand for buffalo meat there is little danger of extinction,

you cant do it

Buffalo grow to a height of around 2 metres and weigh over 2000 lbs at full size.

The buffalo were nearly exterminated through wholesale butchery by whites

sungay

there are only 25000 mindoro dwarf water buffalo are left in the world
