Its thick, shaggy coat is a rich, dark brown, providing exceptional insulation for its large, muscular body. The bison's massive head is adorned with short, curved horns, and its face is characterized by a prominent beard of fur that gives it a grizzled and powerful appearance. Despite its immense size, this herbivore moves with a surprising agility, its powerful legs kicking up dust from the ground. A true symbol of the wilderness, this species represents a remarkable conservation success story, having been brought back from the brink of extinction.
