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 ...

The 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 ...

Their mating habits are polygynous: Dominant bulls maintain a small harem of females for mating. Individual bulls "tend" females until allowed to mate, following them around and chasing away rival males. Homosexual behavior— including courtship and mounting between bulls—is common among bison. The Mandan nation Okipa festival concludes with a ceremonial enactment of this behavior, to "ensure the return of the buffalo in the coming season." Inter-sexual bison also occur. The Lakota refer to them as pte winkte —pte m ...

Animal worship is an ill-defined term, covering facts ranging from the worship of the real divine animal, commonly conceived as a "god-body," at one end of the scale, to respect for the bones of a slain animal or even the use of a respectful name for the living animal at the other end. Added to this, in many works on the subject we find reliance placed, especially for the African facts, on reports of travellers who were merely visitors to the regions on which they wrote. Animal cults may be classified in two ways: ...

The white buffalo is a rarely-occurring condition of American Bison where an animal is born with reddish-brown fur and their fur turns white as they mature. It is caused by a recessive gene that occurs once in every ten million bison births, according to the National Bison Association. This is not an albino condition, as the animal's pigmentation is normal. Albinism is a birth defect, and is not indicative of a healthy animal. White buffalo are considered to be sacred signs among Native Americans, and are often visited by native peoples of Nort ...

Żubroń (pronounce: ['ʐubrɔɲ]) or Zubron is a species of mammals, a hybrid of domestic cattle and wisent. The Wisent is the European Bison hence the Zubron is analogous to the American Beefalo/Cattalo. It was first created by Leopold Walicki in 1847, although earlier natural creations might have been possible. After World War I various scientists thought of żubroń as a possible replacement to domestic cattle. Żubroń turned out to be durable and almost impregna ...

In Hinduism, Prajapati is Lord of Creatures, thought to be depicted on ancient Harappan seals, sitting in yogic posture, with an erection and what appear to be bison horns. Like the Biblical Adam, he is in close communication with Nature and Nature revolves around him. In the Vedas, Prajapati is the name of God as the sustainer of all beings. This would identify him with the later Hindu god Vishnu. Prajapati has also been associated with the non-Aryan Shiva. The presence of hundreds of what appear to be shivalinga discov ...
