For months on end their food is buried. Herbivores - plant-eaters - face the same relentless winter fate: adapt or starve.To reach sedges and dry grass, bison swing their huge heads back and forth, clearing away the drifts. Fields become pocked with bowl-shaped "feeding craters."Since bison often stand motionless for hours, conserving strength, their foraging techniques are not always evident. Look for the white mask of survival - snow still clinging to a shaggy face.The Bison's HumpLife in deep snow has selectively shaped bison anatomy. Above neck and shoulders, large muscles attached to bony spinal projections give the dark heads tremendous excavating power.
