Bison are the largest land mammals in North America and live in some national parks. Bison have adapted to thrive in a variety of ecosystems that offer a diet of grasses, sedges, forbs, and woody plants and to endure harsh conditions such as drought and severe winter weather. It can be an incredible experience to see these majestic animals in the wild, but remember to give them plenty of space and follow these seven tips for watching them safely.
