Bison:
A Bison (pl.: Bison) is a large bovine in the genus Bison
(Greek: "wild ox" (Bison) within the tribe Bovini.
Two extant and
numerous extinct species are recognised.
Of the two surviving species, the American bison, B.
bison, found only in North America, is the more numerous.
Although colloquially
referred to as a buffalo in the United States and Canada, it is only
distantly related to the true buffalo.
The North American species is composed
of two subspecies, the Plains bison, B. b. bison, and the wood bison, B. b.
athabascae, which is the namesake of Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada.
A
third subspecies, the eastern bison (B. b. pennsylvanicus) is no longer considered
a valid taxon, being a junior synonym of B. b. bison.
References to
"woods bison" or "wood bison" from the Eastern United
States refer to this subspecies, not B. b. athabascae, which was not found in
the region.
Its European kind B. bonasus or wisent —also 'zubr' or colloquially
'European buffalo'— is found in Europe and the Caucasus, reintroduced after
being extinct in the wild.
While bison species hve been traditionally classified in
their own genus, modern genetics indicates that they are nested within the
genus Bos, which includes, among others, cattle, yaks and gaur, being most
closely related to yaks.
The American Bison and the European Bison (wisent) are
the largest surviving terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. They are typical artiodactyl (cloven hooved) ungulates, and are similar in appearance to
other bovines such as cattle and true buffalo.
Originally from North America and Eurasia, Bison are the
largest and strongest wild cattle imaginable. Known for their dense coats,
distinctive shoulder curvature and their robust survival in extreme climates,
Bison play an important ecological role shaping the landscape through their
grazing habits which create habitats for other species.
The Gold Coin:
The impressive animal has been brought to life by the
combination of detailed design and a deliberate use of high relief and subtle
colouring.
