Meet the White Bison
White Bison are the same species as the American Bison, but they have white fur as an adult instead of the normal dark brown fur. They are considered to be sacred or spiritually significant to many Native American religions. They are typically cloven hooved and are similar in appearance to other bovines such as cattle and true buffalo. They are broad and muscular with shaggy coats.
