Tanka Fund’s Post

Did you know these 6 facts about the Buffalo? • The hump of a Buffalo is composed of strong muscles that assist this larger-than-life mammal in running. • The muscles help the Buffalo's front legs reach out farther, providing a longer and more efficient running stride. • The hump also supports the Buffalo’s very large head. • The hair or fur on the Buffalo’s head, shoulders, and front legs is crucial for their survival. The thick fur on the front end keeps flies and other biting insects away as the fur and skin are too thick for them to penetrate. • The tail and back legs achieve the same protective function at the back end. • The Buffalo's short, thinner hair at the hind end helps keep these larger-than-life relatives cool during hot, shadeless prairie days.
