Great Horned Owls do not assemble their own nests. Instead, they take over vacant nests left by other birds. The mother owl normally lays two to three eggs in their nest and they sit on them for a month or so. The hatchlings feed, grow and live for another 28 years.

Another difference is that the buffalo has very short hair and the bison has longer hair as well as the bison being larger in size as compared to the buffalo.

Around 1800, Bighorn Sheep existed in the millions, but by the 1900s there were very few left. The reasons for the decline were diseases from domestic sheep, along with competition for food with domestic sheep, and hunting or killing to make room for the domesticated sheep. In the 1930s the Boy Scouts started a campaign to save them in Arizona because it was hardest hit and the sheep were at the brink of extinction there.

Did You Know?
Timber Wolves are also known as Grey Wolves and as a norm, if a wolf is confronted by a person, it will run away. Wolves play a very important role in keeping the population of small animals in control. Currently there is a decreasing number of Timber Wolves due to human expansion which is causing an overpopulation of some small animals in places where Timber Wolves have already disappeared.

The American Bald Eagle is the only eagle unique to North America. An eagle’s eye is almost as large as a human eye, but its sharpness is at least four times that of a person with perfect vision. Eagles also do not sweat, so they use cooling methods such as perching in the shade, panting, as well as holding their wings up away from their body.
