An American bison (Bison bison) forces its way through deep snow near Fountain Flat in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Bison are well equipped for harsh winter conditions. They grow a winter coat of woolly underfur, which has coarse hairs that protect them from the elements. The humps on their backs also contain muscles supported by long vertebrae that help swing their heads to move vast amounts of snow.
