Meet the American Bison!

Oh, you surprised me! You also surprised the American bison. When we bison get scared, we run really fast. This is called stampeding, and when we do it, we might accidentally knock things over. Oops!

Amazing Senses

Bison have amazing hearing and a great sense of smell. As soon as I smelled you, I ran away! But our eyesight isn’t the best. With our strong sense of smell, we can tell if a wolf is coming from far away, which helps keep us safe.

Family and Safety

Male bison are called bulls, and female bison are called cows. The bulls gather around the cows, who form a circle to protect our young ones. If that doesn’t work, we all stampede to stay safe.

Big and Strong

So, what am I like? I’m big, really big! I’m the largest land animal in North America, which is where we live. I have a huge head and horns too.

Time to Eat!

Now, let me munch on some tasty grass. All that running made me hungry!

  • What do you think it would be like to see a bison stampede? How do you think the bison feel when they are running so fast?
  • If you had a super sense like the bison’s sense of smell or hearing, which one would you choose and why? How would it help you in your daily life?
  • Imagine you are a bison living with your family. How would you help keep everyone safe? What do you do with your family to feel safe and protected?
  1. Sound Detective: Bison have amazing hearing! Let’s explore how important our sense of hearing is. Find a quiet spot and close your eyes. Ask a friend or family member to make different sounds around you, like clapping, tapping, or whispering. Can you guess what each sound is and where it’s coming from? Discuss how bison might use their hearing to stay safe in the wild.

  2. Smell Adventure: Just like bison, we can use our sense of smell to learn about the world. Gather a few items with different scents, like an orange peel, a flower, or a piece of chocolate. Close your eyes and have someone hold each item under your nose. Can you identify them just by smelling? Talk about how bison might use their sense of smell to find food or detect danger.

  3. Family Circle Game: Bison form a circle to protect their young. Let’s play a game to understand this better! Gather a group of friends or family members. Choose one person to be the “calf” and have them stand in the middle. The rest of you form a circle around the “calf.” Pretend to be bison protecting the calf from imaginary wolves. Discuss how working together helps keep everyone safe.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Ah, you startled me! You startled the American bison. When we bison are scared, our normal reaction is to run as fast as we can. We call it stampeding, and when we stampede like that, we tend to damage everything in our path. Sorry!

Bison have really great hearing and smelling senses. The moment I sniffed you guys, I was out of there! But our vision is not so good. With our sharp sense of smell, we can detect a wolf approaching from a fair distance, so that’s a good thing.

Male bison, or bulls, gather around the female bison, or cows, who encircle our young. If this doesn’t work, we stampede.

So, how would I describe myself? A large, massive, and enormous creature. You see, I’m the largest land animal in North America, which is fitting because that’s where we live. I have a massive head and horns too.

Let me chew on some juicy grass now; all that stampeding made me hungry!
