American Bison Biography
The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American
buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the
grasslands of North America in massive herds. Their range once roughly
comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far
northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and
east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains.Due to
commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, the bison nearly
went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other
reserves.
