<p>The bison was named the official mammal of the United states today under legislation signed by none other than President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>“A bi-what?!” we hear you splutter into your morning tea. The bison is a large, even-toed ungulate found in Western Europe, Central Asia and North America. It’s sometimes referred to as a “buffalo”.</p>
<p>Despite their cuddly appearance, bisons are actually pretty dangerous. Their unpredictable temperament, coupled with large, sharp horns and a powerful kick make for an animal you don’t want to mess with. When they ran wild, bison were second only to the Alaska brown bear as a potential killer, even more lethal than the grizzly bear.</p>
<p>Policy-makers spearheading the effort said the once nearly extinct animal deserves the elevated stature because of its economic and cultural significance in the nation’s history.</p>
<p>Millions of bison once roamed the Great Plains. About 500,000 now live in the US but most have been cross-bred with cattle, and are semi-domesticated. About 30,000 wild bison roam the country, with the largest population in Yellowstone National Park.</p>
<p>Don’t worry if you’re a fan of the bald eagle (and who isn’t?), both the eagle and the bison will take joint position as the national animal.</p>
