DID YOU KNOW…
|
|
|
|
* The bison is the biggest land animal living on our continent.
|
|
|
|
* An adult bison measures between 1.5 to 2 metres and weighs between 635 and 1000kg.
|
|
|
|
* Bison has two fur coats :
|
|
- One coat closer to the body is thick and keeps it warm
|
|
- The outer coat is waterproof
|
|
|
|
* The eyes of a bison can see something moving at a 750 metres distance
|
|
|
|
* Its’ large muzzle can smell up to 1,5 km
|
|
|
|
* Its’ two round and hairy ears can hear up to 150 metres away
|
|
|
|
* Bison feed on wild cereals, wheat, barley, oat and couch grass
|
|
|
|
* Its’ large and flat muzzle becomes a snowplough to get to its’ meal in the winter
|
|
|
|
* Alone a bison is miserable, which explains the social side of its’ nature
|
|
|
|
* If it hears an unusual sound, the bison scares and will probably run away. The rest of the herd will run in a circle. This is called a stampede.
|
|
|
|
* Bison mate at the end of summer or beginning of fall
|
|
|
|
* Birth is usually at the beginning of the next summer, when food is abundant
