Everything about Bison Priscus totally explained
The
Steppe Bison or
steppe wisent (
Bison priscus) was a
bison found on
steppes throughout
Europe,
Central Asia,
Beringia and
North America during the
Quaternary. It is believed that it evolved somewhere in
South Asia which would have it appearing at roughly the same time and region as the
aurochs with which its descendants are sometimes confused.
The steppe wisent became extinct in the late
Pleistocene, as it was replaced in Europe by the modern
wisent species and in America by a sequence of species culminating in the
American bison.
Steppe wisent was over two metres high and resembled the modern bison species. The tips of the horns were a metre apart, the horns themselves being over half a metre long.
Steppe wisent occasionally appear in
cave art.
