   The question was never answered. “How fast can a wood bison run?”

   Wondering how the wood bison compares in size to the bison found in Yellowstone National Park and elsewhere in North America?

   Male bison or male mammals do not give birth.

   I read that the range of Bisons were from Canada all the way south to the borders of the USA. This was before human industrialism began to put obstacles on their plains and travel ways.

   How are these different from the Bison who used to roam the plains of the USA in the thousands?

    Please give the credit of having a 9 month gestation period to the female. Change it to “similar to a human baby.” Not a Man!!

    That’s amazing you’d even think that lot less believe it. They are real plus they can run faster than you would believe.

    These massive and beautiful creatures have been reintroduced into Alaska. They are doing well so far.

    It is slightly larger than my regular Bison. They breed in October so the calf will be born in the spring making it easier on the cow and the calf. The calf will be off the cow by fall but still will be protected by the cow until it is at least a year old. The “ole wives tale” that they are mean and will kill you is false. Mine (9) are about as mean as a real vicious goldfish. If you walked into the pasture with a bucket of sweet feed and did not share then maybe a different outcome could and probably would happen.

    They have a concealed utter, like a horse, probably from many years on the plains so they are not exposed to predators and you. The calf is small so it not as
    evident the cow has dropped a calf. The calf is up soon and ready to travel with the herd for protection. The hide has an extra layer of hair for warmth which
    is shed the next spring.

    “Man” does not have a gestation period. Women do or you could say human.

    As intelligent as a Wood Bison made of wood. Rather like a tree stump!
