- Lot Description
North America, ca. 5000 to 2000 years ago. A well-preserved, fossilized skull of the American bison (Bison bison), also known as an American buffalo, the most iconic animal of the American West, with a wide, heavy face, prominent eye sockets, and curved horns that project horizontally from the sides of the head. The teeth from the upper jaw are well preserved. The bovine family, which contains Taurids (cattle) and bisonids, diverged from a common ancestor with the water buffalo and African buffalo around 5 to 10 million years ago. The bison at some point migrated from the Old World into the New. During the Ice Age, they were much larger, with species like Bison latifrons (giant bison) and Bison antiquus evolving to become smaller and smaller as the millennia passed and the climate changed. That does not mean they are small animals in our non-Ice Age times - in fact, today, they are the largest land mammal in North America - bigger than moose, elk, and even grizzly bears! Adult males can weigh up to 2000 pounds and stand six feet tall. Size: 24" W x 23.75" H (61 cm x 60.3 cm); 25.5" H (64.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hawaii, USA collection
