bisons weight 1400 pounds,
bisons come equipped with horns
and can run 64 km/hour (40 mph)

it might be prudent not to rile up a bison too much?

Bison weigh in at 2,000 pounds. Sometimes 2,700 and can run at a loping gallop of 35 mph. The best humans can do is about 15 mph for maybe a thousand yards at best. That means flat out this animal can be on you in a matter of seconds and squash you like a bug. This is DEFIIETLY not an animal to screw around with under any circumstance.

Just as a comparison, the original Volkswagen Beetle weighed 1800 pounds, also came equipped with a horn, and could run 100 km/hr or more (60 mph).

But it is likely the bison would win a confrontation despite the seemingly superior specs of the Beetle.

People don’t realize how fast they really are...and they are athletic too, I have seen them spin around fast. I think people look at them and think they are just big slow animals, but I have seen them fighting or playing with each other and they make some amazing moves.
