ROAMING BUFFALO

BUFFALO FACTS

Buffalos can also be called Bisons. They can live to be about 12-20 years old. They live in families that are called herds.

They have horns and shed their heavy coats each year in the springtime. Their coats enable them to endure harsh winter weather conditions. Males can be very large, weighing up to 2,000 pounds, and they run almost 40 mph. When they run, it can sound like thunder and feel like an earthquake. They graze on prairie grasses because they are herbivores. They are not easy to tame and remain wild. There are ranches and areas today that breed and protect buffalos.
