The reproduction in bison is a pretty slow process. This contributed to a large part of why the bison population dropped so quickly, and is still quite low. Bison may mate anywhere between June and September, with the majority of it happening in July or August. After mating, it takes up to 185 days for the single calf to be born. This usually takes place somewhere in April or May. Also, the crossbreeding of bison with cattle, is highly discouraged, as it weakens the bison's genes. However, this still happens and today there are very few wild bison with complete bison genes. | |||
