These majestic creatures are built like brawny, furry tanks with large heads, humped shoulders and a scruffy beard that would make any hipster jealous. Bisons have dark brown, coarse hair that can grow very long, especially in the winter to keep them warm. Their sharp, curved horns sticking out on either side of their massive heads are always ready for action, giving them a fierce look.  \nWhile their fierce looks can be intimidating, bisons are real softies when it comes to their favourite food - grass. They love grazing in open grasslands, forests, and plains across North America, chomping on grass, herbs, shrubs and twigs. Just like how we humans have our daily routine, bisons spend their days eating in the morning and evening, and resting during the day. And did you know? In winter, they use their big heads like a snowplow to clear the snow and reach the delicious grass underneath!  \nSpeaking of snow, American Bisons are quite the survivalists, bearing the harsh winters and hot summers. Their life begins as a 'red dog', which is what we call a baby bison because of its reddishbrown coat. As they grow, their coat darkens, and they learn to become part of the herd, which is like a big family of bisons living, moving and growing together. Bisons live up to 15 years in the wild, and during this time, they play a crucial role in the ecosystem, helping other animals and plants flourish too.  \nBisons don't just help nature, they've played a significant role in human history too. Native American tribes have revered the bison for thousands of years, using every part of the animal for food, clothes, and tools. Unfortunately, this led to them being over-hunted, but thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers are slowly increasing. So, the next time you see a bison, remember, they're not just big, furry animals, they're superheroes of the wild!  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What is the favorite food of American Bisons?  \nA.
