Bison are large, even-toed ungulates in the genus Bison within the subfamily Bovinae.
The American bison and the European bison (wisent) are the largest surviving terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. American bison are known for living in the Great Plains, but formerly had a much larger range, including much of the eastern United States and parts of Mexico. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries, but have since rebounded. The wisent in part owes its survival to the Chernobyl disaster, as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has become a kind of wildlife preserve for wisent and other rare megafauna such as the Przewalski’s horse, though poaching has become a threat in recent years.
