Description
This American Bison was intently watching me. And I was definitely keeping my eye on him and his herd mates, from a lengthy distance. This image is also available in black and white and with a painterly effect.
The Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge in Iowa maintains a herd of American Bison, including bulls, cows and calves. This is one of their bulls who had been grazing nearby along with several others. The American bison was named the national mammal of the United States on May 9, 2016. By the late 1800s, there were only a few hundred bison left in the US, and if it weren't for private citizens and various government departments, they would be extinct today. Male bison (called bulls) weigh up to 2,000 pounds and stand 6 feet tall, while females (called cows) weigh up to 1,000 pounds and reach a height of 4-5 feet. Bison calves weigh 30-70 pounds at birth. They can run up to 35 miles per hour. Plus, they’re extremely agile. Bison can spin around quickly, jump high fences and are strong swimmers.
This would make an amazing shower curtain, mug, or jigsaw puzzle. Please visit lindabrittain.pixels.com for many other gift and home decor suggestions.
