Trimming Bison Beards for a Good Look at Prairie
April 10, 2014—Researchers
at the Dunn Ranch in Missouri trimmed bison's beards to clear the view
for Crittercam collars, which they hope will offer a bison's-eye view of
the American prairie. It's part of a study of bison's feeding habits,
which could provide clues about these animals' role in prairie
ecosystems.
