Buffalo and Bison

No a weasel is not a primary consumer, because it eats other animals like mice, voles, shrews, moles, rabbits and small birds and their eggs. It is a carnivore.

Bison can consume around 15-30 pounds of food, such as grasses and plants, per day depending on their size and nutritional needs. They are grazers and spend a significant amount of time foraging for food to meet their dietary requirements.

A bison bladder is the urinary bladder of a bison, which is a large, herbivorous mammal native to North America. Historically, some Indigenous peoples used bison bladders for various purposes, such as making water bags or pouches.

Bison in grasslands have adaptations like a strong digestive system to efficiently process fibrous grasses, a thick coat for protection against harsh weather, and strong limbs for running and grazing in open spaces. They also have a keen sense of hearing and smell to detect predators and find food in the expansive grasslands.

Tamaraws are found only in the Philippines and primarily inhabit dense forests and grasslands at high elevations, while carabaos are domesticated water buffalo found across Southeast Asia and are typically seen in lowland areas such as wetlands, rice paddies, and grasslands. Tamaraws have a more restricted range and are considered critically endangered, while carabaos have adapted to a wider range of habitats due to domestication.

The breeding season for whales varies by species. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article listing the different whale species, and the curious person will surf on over and start checking out the particular species that appears interesting.

"Coyote". In the majority of places, this is pronounced 'kye-oh-tee', but many, usually in the western states, pronounce it, 'kye-ote', which is less correct.

Buffalo are commonly found in the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and Meru National Parks in Kenya. They prefer habitats with grasslands, savannas, and forested areas where they can graze and find water sources.

Bison were once endangered due to overhunting, but conservation efforts have helped increase their populations. As of now, bison are considered near threatened, which means they are not currently in danger of extinction but are at risk due to habitat loss and human activity.

Plains Indians used every part of the buffalo they hunted out of reverence for the animal and to ensure nothing went to waste. They utilized the meat for food, the hide for clothing and shelter, the bones for tools and weapons, and even the dung for fuel and ceremonial purposes. This practice was integral to their sustainable way of life on the Great Plains.

No. A bison is a herbivore. It eats primarily grasses and forbs.
No, they are herbivores, subsisting primarily on grasses and sedges.

Herbivorous animals primarily eat plants and vegetation for their source of nutrients. Omnivorous animals consume both plants and animals as part of their diet. Carnivorous animals predominantly feed on other animals as their main food source for energy and nutrients. Each type of diet has evolved based on the specific nutritional requirements of the animals and their ecosystems.

Yellow paint typically does not come from any organ of a buffalo. Yellow paint is usually made by mixing various pigments or dyes to achieve the desired color. It is not derived directly from any specific organ of an animal.

Bison are large herbivores that play a key role in maintaining grasslands through grazing and trampling. They help shape the environment by influencing vegetation composition and structure. In addition, bison serve as important prey for predators, contributing to the overall ecosystem balance.

Cations are positively charged ions, such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca2+). Anions are negatively charged ions, such as chloride (Cl-), sulfate (SO42-), and nitrate (NO3-). This is not an exhaustive list, but covers some common examples.

Buffalo is known for its rich history as a major industrial and transportation hub in the United States, for its architectural treasures such as the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Darwin Martin House, and for its iconic Buffalo chicken wings, which were invented in the city in 1964.

Because people killed them. Buffalo died out because the settlers came and went into their habitats. The settlers killed the buffalo for meat, bones, skin. The buffalo didn't die out only because the setlers killed them but, also because their own animals carried very bad diseases that were fatal to the buffalo. Thankfully, they didn't quite die out, and their numbers are increasing.They were delibrately slaughtered to deprive the native Americans of food. Most were left to rot. It's a sad and ugly part of America's history.

Water is not inherently strong in terms of physical force or power. However, water can exert pressure and cause erosion over time, especially in large quantities like floods or ocean waves. Its strength lies more in its ability to sustain life and shape landscapes through erosion and weathering.

From its source. The laxative effects of mineral salts in Pluto Water made it popular in the early 1900's. It was drawn from Pluto Springs, and bottled in French Lick, Indiana. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article. Surf on over and check out the two historic photos.

Yes, there are opportunities for zoologists in the US to advance their careers through promotions. This can happen by gaining experience, furthering education, taking on additional responsibilities, and demonstrating leadership abilities in their field. Moving up to higher positions, such as senior zoologist or research director, is achievable through dedication and hard work.

The Mindoro dwarf buffalo (i.e., Tamaraw, tamarou)'s scientific name is bubalus mindorensis. May I ask why you wanted to know? Does it have something to do with the fact that this species is critically endangered?

That would depend on which type of buffalo you are referring to. There are American Buffalo, Wisent (aka Eurasian Buffalo), Water Buffalo, etc.
