1. Curved Horns
Bison horns are made of keratin over living bone. They grow continuously and never shed, unlike deer antlers!
2. Thoracic Hump
Formed by huge dorsal vertebrae supporting massive neck muscles. Bison use their head like a snowplow in winter.
3. Two-Tone Coat
The thick front wool traps air so snow won't melt on their back. The shorter summer flank allows heat release.
