The '''American bison''' is a species of wild cattle of the family Bovidae, and the largest living terrestrial animal in North America. At one time bison herds roamed the plains and valleys from western [[Canada]] down to [[Mexico]], serving an important part of [[Native American]] survival, but were almost hunted to extinction by Eureopean settlers by 1900.
===Subspecies===
*''Bison bison athabascae'', Wood bison; Canada: northern Alberta and Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Yukon, British Columbia.
*''Bison bison bison'', Plains Bison; grasslands west of Mississippi River to Rocky Mountains, from northern Mexico north to central Alberta, Canada.
