Ice, Ice Bison…
Alright, stop! Ungulate and listen. The bison’s back with a brand new admission.
It’s cold outside.
But that’s okay. It’s not under pressure to stay warm. In fact, bison have a high cold tolerance. In fact, when the wind blows their coarse fur down against their body, it creates an impenetrable layer of warmth. The coat of a bison is so thick and insulates the bison’s body so well that snow landing on the bison will not melt from the heat of the bison’s body.
