American bison  

American bison are the largest terrestrial animals in North America.

Bison can run at speeds of up to 65 km/h.

Bison have been known to leap up to 1.8 meters vertically.

The thick fur of bison helps them survive harsh winters, with snow often remaining unmelted on their bodies.

Historically, bison populations in North America ranged from Alaska to Mexico.

Bison are capable swimmers, crossing rivers with ease.
