Bison at Badlands National Park
Bison are magnificent animals that can handle various environments and are built to last.
They adapt to extreme weather conditions, such as blustery winters and cold temperatures, with their thick coats that provide insulation.
- Their coats thicken up as winter approaches to counter frigid temperatures and snow.
- The wooly coats keep them warm and create a layer of insulation, preventing snow from melting.
A bison’s coat can cause trouble when they get an itch that needs scratching.
Despite their tough nature, bison still need to scratch their itches, as seen in the incident at Badlands National Park.
