| Mount Moran rises above the Snake River at Oxbow Bend. Image ID: 13027 Location: Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA | Adult female moose in deep meadow grass near Christian Creek. Image ID: 13039 Species: Moose, Alces alces Location: Christian Creek, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA | The bisons massive head is its most characteristic feature. Its forehead bulges because of its convex-shaped frontal bone. Its shoulder hump, dwindling bowlike to the haunches, is supported by unusually long spinal vertebrae. Over powerful neck and shoulder muscles grows a great shaggy coat of curly brown fur, and over the head, like an immense hood, grows a shock of black hair. Its forequarters are higher and much heavier than its haunches. A mature bull stands about 6 1/2 feet (2 meters) at the shoulder and weighs more than 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms). The bisons horns are short and black. In the male they are thick at the base and taper abruptly to sharp points as they curve outward and upward; the females horns are more slender.
