Powerful and Confident




 
Some people confuse bison and buffalo.  Both are large horned animals of Bovidae family.  Antelope Island is home to American bison.

Contrary to the song "Home on the Range", buffalo do not roam the American West.  Instead, they are indigenous to South Asia (water buffalo) and Africa ( Cape buffalo).

The main difference between bison and buffalo is the presence of a hump.  Bison has one on its shoulders, the buffalo does not.




















Generally, life is good.

  4. Aunque el primero se ve tranquilo y confiado, otros se ven más inquietos.
    Feliz fin de semana.

  5. Puede ser confiado porque es poderoso. No creo que tenga muchos depredadores aparte del hombre. Tus imagenes confirman sus fortaleza.
    Un abrazo.
