American bison face threats from habitat loss, hybridization with cattle, and the spread of cattle diseases. They are now mainly found on private and protected ranchland and grassland in scattered areas of the western United States and Canada. Bison are not buffalo, as true buffalo live in Africa and Asia. In 2016, bison were named the national mammal of the U.S.A. They are fast and agile, can run up to 35 mph, jump fences, and swim expertly, and they also have excellent senses of smell and hearing.
