Bison are ungulates, meaning they have hooves. They have a hump and huge heads and shoulders, and both males and females have short, curved horns. There are two types of American Bison - the Wood Bison (Bison athabascae) and the Plains Bison (Bison bison bison). The Wood Bison is larger and heavier, with a darker coat. Long strands of hair hang between its horns and it has a thinner beard and throat mane. The Plains Bison is smaller.
The B. latifrons species was replaced by the smaller Bison antiquus. B. antiquus appeared in the North American fossil record approximately 250,000 years ago. B. antiquus, in turn, evolved into B. occidentalis, then into the yet smaller B. bisonâthe modern American bisonâsome 5,000 to 10,000 years ago.
