===Differences from European bison===

Although they are superficially similar, the American and [[European bison]] exhibit a number of physical and behavioral differences. Adult American bison are slightly heavier on average because of their less rangy build and have shorter legs, which render them slightly shorter at the shoulder.<ref>''Trophy Bowhunting: Plan the Hunt of a Lifetime and Bag One for the Record Books'', by Rick Sapp, Edition: illustrated, published by Stackpole Books, 2006, {{ISBN|0-8117-3315-7}}, {{ISBN|978-0-8117-3315-1}}</ref> American bison tend to [[Grazing (behaviour)|graze]] more and [[Browsing (herbivory)|browse]] less than their European relatives because their necks are set differently. Compared to the nose of the American bison, that of the European species is set farther forward than the forehead when the neck is in a neutral position. The body of the American bison is hairier, though its tail has less hair than that of the European bison. The horns of the European bison point forward through the plane of its face, making it more adept at fighting through the interlocking of horns in the same manner as domestic cattle, unlike the American bison, which favors charging.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lott |first=Dale F. |title=American bison: a natural history |date=2002 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=978-0-520-24062-9 |series=Organisms and environments |location=Berkeley}}</ref> American bison are more easily tamed than the European and breed more readily with domestic cattle.<ref>Newman, Edward and James Edmund Harting (1859).
