These bovines were common on temperate
and subglacial plains, and one type
lived in forests. The normal bison (using
the statistics given for them in the article,
"What's for Lunch?" in this issue) would be
no surprise to adventurers, but the giant
bison of the Pleistocene was larger and
had a horn spread of 7-10'. Both species
charge as do bulls, requiring 30' to attack
a foe in this manner.
