Bison Shelter Strategies
Bison use natural features and behavior to find shelter depending on the season and weather.
Natural Shelter
- Trees and forests
- Ravines and gullies
- Thick brush and vegetation
- Rocky outcrops
Behavioral Shelter
- Huddling together for warmth
- Positioning themselves on the leeward side of hills
They also seek shade in summer and may alter movement patterns before storms.
