The American Bison: Faster Than It Looks
from VEDAROS's Podcast · host VEDAROS
The American bison looks slow, heavy, and almost prehistoric, but in reality, it is one of the fastest and most powerful land animals in North America. In this episode, we explore how bison move, why they are more dangerous than they appear, and how they shaped entire ecosystems for thousands of years. We also look at their role in Indigenous cultures and how close they came to disappearing in the 19th century.
