| | |  American Bison - Hunting and near-extinction: Encyclopedia II - American Bison - Hunting and near-extinctionThe American Bison is a relative newcomer to North America, having originated in Eurasia. About 10,000 years ago it replaced the Long-horned Bison (Bison priscus) which was much larger. It is thought that the Long Horned Bison may have gone extinct due to a changing ecosystem and hunting pressure following the development of the Clovis point and related technology, and improved hunting skills. During this same period, other megafauna vanished, to be replaced to some degree by immigrant Eurasian animals that were better adapted to pred ...

| | | | American Bison - Hunting and near-extinction: Encyclopedia II - American Bison - Bison today Bison are now raised for meat and hides. Over 250,000 of the 350,000 remaining bison are being raised for human consumption. Bison meat is lower in fat and cholesterol than beef which has led to the development of beefalo, a fertile cross-breed of bison and domestic cattle.
Recent genetic studies of privately-owned herds of bison show that many of them include animals with genes from domestic cattle; there are as few as 12,000 to 15,000 pure bison in the world. The numbers are uncertain because the tests so far used mitochondrial DNA analysis, and thus would miss cattle genes inherited in the male line; most of ...
