Bison bison
$25.00–$325.00
Study of an American Bison. Head in profile.
Bison are the symbolic animal of the Great Plains, and are
frequently identified with American heritage. They are the
heaviest land animal in North America and can weigh a ton.
Like human females, bison give birth to one calf after a
nine-month pregnancy. Once the prolific species of the
American plains, the bison was hunted for food, sport, and
to rob the Native Americans of their most valuable natural
resource. Today bison are raised in preserves and on
arches for food.

Illustration detailing the bill and crest of a Great Hornbill.
The crest on the hornbill serves no known purpose, and it
thought to be the result of sexual selection. The young
hornbill has no trace of a casque at birth, which becomes
fully developed by age five. The size and color of the great
hornbill have made it an important part of tribal cultures.
The great hornbill is found in India, Bhutan, Nepal,
Sumatra, and the mainland of Southeast Asia.
