Bison occidentalis is an extinct species of bison that lived in North America, from about 11,700 to 5,000 years ago, spanning the end of the Pleistocene to the mid-Holocene. [ 2 ] Evolution
A bison (pl.: bison) is a large bovine in the genus Bison (Greek: "wild ox" (bison) [1]) within the tribe Bovini. Two extant and numerous extinct species are recognised. Of the two surviving species, the American bison , B. bison , found only in North America , is the more numerous.
The heaviest wild bull for B.b.bison ever recorded weighed 1,270 kg (2,800 lb) [34] while there had been bulls estimated to be 1,400 kg (3,000 lb). [35] B.b.athabascae is significantly larger and heavier on average than B.b.bison while the number of recorded samples for the former was limited after the rediscovery of a relatively pure herd. [23]
