Antarctican Bison

Antarctican bison, despite its name, it is not a bison or even closely related (although it is only distanly related), but a descendant of a group of surviving prehistoric Pelorovis that made it to Antarctica, so they are more appropriately named Antarctican buffalo. They are better equipped to survive the Antarctican environment than their ancestors, having thick woolly fur to survive the cold weather and climate, thick splayed out feet like camels so they don't sink into the snow, and saiga antelope-like noses to help warm up the air they breathe. They are the largest native animals of Antarctica, being about 8.5 feet tall at the shoulder height and is about 11 feet long from nose to tail, it can weigh about 3 tons, larger than any other bovine on earth. They are herbivores that mainly feed on grass, but can also feed on leaves to supplement their diet. They are found in forests and grasslands of Antarctica.
