Did you know these 6 facts about the Buffalo?
Buffalo at Tanka Fund rancher partner Texas Tribal Buffalo Project in Waelder, TX.
The hump of a buffalo is composed of strong muscles that assist this larger-than-life mammal in running — helping their front legs reach out farther for a longer and more efficient running stride. This hump also holds up the buffalo’s very large head. The hair or fur on the buffalo’s head, shoulders, and front legs is also key to their survival. “The thick fur on the front end keeps flies and other biting insects away because the fur and skin is too thick. The tail and back legs accomplish the same thing at the back end. The short, thinner hair at the hind end helps keep the bison cool during hot, shadeless prairie days.”
Information for this quick fact is from the South Dakota Game, Fish And Parks website.
