Bisons have not always lived in North America. They are relatively new comers. They belong to the Bovidae family, like domestic cattle and the wild buffalo of Africa and Asia. The oldest known bison fossils have been found in China and the Himalaya Foothills where an animal with all the essential features of the genus lived a million years ago. They evolved rapidly and spread over most of the northern hemisphere in Europe and Siberia. During one of the Ice Ages, the sea level dropped exposing a land bridge across the Bering Strait allowing the faunas of Asia and NorthAmerica to intermingle. Very early, the stepped bison moved eastward to the North American Continent.
