Hart Plains Bison

Hart Plains Bison Description: Large, muscular herbivores with thick, shaggy coats that range from dark brown to russet. Bulls can weigh over a ton, with broad heads and curved horns. Behavior: Travel in large, tightly-knit herds that migrate seasonally. Bison graze primarily on goldengrass and sagebrush. They wallow in dust baths to deter insects and maintain skin health. Ecological Role: Their grazing patterns shape the grassland ecosystem, prevent shrub overgrowth, and their hooves aerate the soil. Human Interaction: Hunted sustainably for meat, hides, and bones, forming a cornerstone of nomadic clan life.
