The animal that Alex is talking about this week is up there as one of the larger animals that we’ve talked about on this podcast so far. They’re found in North America and can go by multiple different names. Even though they’re hard to miss because of their size, you probably haven’t seen one in the wild. They’re symbolic to many people in the United States, and they even have a football team named after them. So, get ready to talk about the heaviest land animals in North America: American buffaloes.
