Look at this big, strong animal. This is an American Bison! It is often called a "buffalo", and it is the largest land animal in North America.

It looks very powerful, with a huge head, a big hump on its shoulders, and two short, curved horns. Its body is covered in thick, shaggy brown fur. This fur is like a warm coat that protects it during cold winters.

Bison live in big groups called herds. They love to eat grass and roam across wide, open plains.

Long ago, millions of bison lived in North America. They were very important to Native Americans, who used them for food, clothing, and shelter.

Even though their numbers became very low, people are working hard to protect them.

Today, the American Bison is a strong symbol of the wild and a reminder of the beauty of nature. Today's tutorial will guide us step by step through drawing an American bison!
