Buffaloes

Buffaloes, also known as bison in North America, are large, muscular mammals distinguished by their massive heads, prominent horns, and thick coats. They play a vital role in their ecosystems, grazing on grasses and helping maintain healthy plains and grasslands. Historically, buffaloes were abundant in North America and parts of Africa, but their numbers declined due to hunting and habitat loss. Today, they are valued for conservation, cultural significance, and as a source of meat and hide. Buffaloes are social animals, forming herds that provide protection and community, and they exhibit behaviors suited to their environment and survival needs.
