Description
This photo captured a bison attacking a farming tractor at a small bison farm in Carolina. It happened during the feeding time as the bull tried to protect its family from perceived threat.
Bison are large, even-toed ungulates in the genus Bison within the subfamily Bovinae. Two extant and six extinct species are recognised. Of the six extinct species, five went extinct in the Quaternary extinction event. Bison palaeosinensis evolved in the Early Pleistocene in South Asia, and was the evolutionary ancestor of B. priscus, which was the ancestor of all other Bison species. From 2 MYA to 6,000 BCE, steppe bison ranged across the mammoth steppe, inhabiting Europe and northern Asia with B. schoetensacki, and North America with B. antiquus, B. latifrons, and B. occidentalis. The last species to go extinct, B. occidentalis, was succeeded at 3,000 BCE by B. bison.
