Bison Anatomy Bison Ecology Did you know? Bison Speak Expressions, Language, and Behaviors. If you disagree with any of my perspectives, you might be correct, and most definitely are correct if how you understand your bison differs.
The point I make is that we all learn from our experiences and develop something functionally correct. The complexity of the language of bison includes vocalization, posturing, facial expression, head positioning and movement, tone, volume, and of course an individual recognizable voice. And what does it matter?
I will discuss how bison speak with each other and how people and bison communicate with each other. How people communicate with bison and how the bison responds, lays the foundation for all possibilities. No different from how we interact with each other. When visiting a bison ranch, one can discern through the bison whether they are being well handled based on their behaviors.
I say this only because I was visiting a ranch over 20 years ago and was heavily warned about the bison. Since all those years ago managing bison has changed all over North America, it seems everyone has learned and is still learning the best management practices. There was an instance when I was assisting someone in training their colts, and he shared his past difficulties with other trainers.
I responded, emphasizing that the horse itself conveys all the necessary information. Horses are honest creatures; if displeased, they will express it via a change in behavior or acting up. The key lies in our ability to observe and interpret these signals.
