This North American mammal can weigh up to 907 kilograms and still run at speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour. In 2016 it became the national mammal of the United States. Although it is often called buffalo, the American bison does not belong to the group of true buffaloes, native to Africa and Asia. Its scientific name, Bison bison, leaves little room for confusion. The muscular hump on his shoulders helps him move his head from side to side to push the snow aside and reach the grass below. Both males and females have horns and beards. The tail can also give clues about its condition: when you move it from side to side it is usually calm, while a raised tail can indicate agitation. Yellowstone National Park is the only place in the United States where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. Having been on the brink of extinction, these animals have staged an impressive recovery thanks to conservation efforts. Today, their survival is an achievement that deserves to be celebrated. --- [Bisonte Americano](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Bisonte%20Americano&FORM=&ref=truthdead.com) Cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles, el bisonte sigue pastando. Este mamífero norteamericano puede pesar hasta 907 kilogramos y, aun así, correr a velocidades de hasta 56 kilómetros por hora. En 2016 se convirtió en el mamífero nacional de Estados Unidos. Aunque suele llamársele búfalo, el bisonte americano no pertenece al grupo de los verdaderos búfalos, originarios de África y Asia. Su nombre científico, Bison bison, deja poco espacio para la confusión. La musculosa joroba de sus hombros le ayuda a mover la cabeza de lado a lado para apartar la nieve y alcanzar la hierba que se encuentra debajo. Tanto los machos como las hembras tienen cuernos y barba. La cola también puede dar pistas sobre su estado: cuando la mueve de un lado a otro suele estar tranquilo, mientras que una cola levantada puede indicar agitación. El Parque Nacional de Yellowstone es el único lugar de Estados Unidos donde los bisontes han vivido de forma continua desde tiempos prehistóricos. Después de haber estado al borde de la extinción, estos animales han protagonizado una impresionante recuperación gracias a los esfuerzos de conservación. Hoy, su supervivencia es un logro que merece celebrarse. --- [Bisonte americano](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Bisonte%20Americano&FORM=&ref=truthdead.com) Quando le cose si fanno difficili, il bisonte continua a pascolare. Questo mammifero nordamericano può pesare fino a 907 chilogrammi e, nonostante ciò, correre a velocità che raggiungono i 56 chilometri all’ora. Nel 2016 è diventato il mammifero nazionale degli Stati Uniti. Sebbene venga spesso chiamato bufalo, il bisonte americano non appartiene al gruppo dei veri bufali, originari dell’Africa e dell’Asia. Il suo nome scientifico, Bison bison, non lascia spazio a confusione. La muscolosa gobba sulle spalle lo aiuta a muovere la testa da un lato all’altro per scostare la neve e raggiungere l’erba che si trova sotto. Sia i maschi che le femmine hanno corna e barba. Anche la coda può fornire indizi sul suo stato d’animo: quando la muove da un lato all’altro di solito è tranquillo, mentre una coda sollevata può indicare agitazione. Il Parco Nazionale di Yellowstone è l’unico luogo negli Stati Uniti in cui i bisonti vivono ininterrottamente sin dalla preistoria. Dopo essere stati sull’orlo dell’estinzione, questi animali hanno vissuto un’impressionante ripresa grazie agli sforzi di conservazione. Oggi, la loro sopravvivenza è un risultato che merita di essere celebrato. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-1.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-2.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-3.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-4.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-5.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-6.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-7.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-9.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/11/Bisonte-10.webp) [Bisonte Americano](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Bisonte%20Americano&FORM=&ref=truthdead.com) [Subscribe](#/portal/signup) SPONSORED [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2025/12/BCO.45716498-7f4c-4d25-9904-9cac0bf36e03-1.png)](#/portal/signup) ***The Mouth of Truth is a reader-supported publication.
