Have you ever seen a bison with an incredible head of hair?
I’ll always stop to enjoy a majestic bison video, and this one might be the most majestic of them all. I know it might sound strange to be talking about a bison’s head of hair, but I’m telling you – and social media has noticed – this beast has one of the best heads of lettuce in the Animal Kingdom.
It’s not out of the ordinary for a bison to have an impressive amount of hair. A bison’s coat typically thickens up as the winter season approaches. That’s obviously to counter the frigid temperatures and blankets of snow that often fall in their North Americans habitats. Their wooly coats play an intricate role in keeping them warm through the winter, and apparently create such a layer of insulation that snow that lands on their coat will not melt from the heat the bison’s skin gives off.
Pretty crazy, right?
That’s why the beasts are considered to be some of the toughest animals on the planet, and why they can handle and traverse snow-covered land better than most. When it’s just them versus nature, bison are built to last. Whether they’re facing blustery winters or extreme cold temperatures, the 2,000 pound beasts can adapt to and overcome nearly any weather you throw at them.
Though appearance doesn’t matter much out in the wild, a thick head of hair is always good for clout, and this particular bison’s hairdo is so impressive that it’s making waves online.
It appears that this bison lives within Lone Elk Park in the St. Louis, Missouri area. I’m not sure what kind of hair routine the park has their animals on, but it’s clearly working… to the point where their big ol’ bison has gone viral simply for looking fabulously well-groomed.
Check out this bison’s glorious, flowing head of hair:
Is it a mullet? An afro? Regardless, it certainly takes home the “Best Hair” superlative.
If this bison is, in fact, living in Missouri, there’s absolutely no reason for the hair on its head to be that thick. Which begs the question… is this bison aura farming? It’s definitely not a practicality thing. The winters can get rough in Missouri, but not to the point where a bison needs to thicken up this much.
More power to him though. The bison has a thick head of hair and he knows it. He’s certainly strutting his way (and bouncing his hair) past the cars in this video with a whole lot of confidence, and social media users can’t get enough of it:
“I know a rizzler when I see one.”
“That fro is flowing.”
“Quite the quaff.”
“You can literally hear the ‘swoosh’ it makes too! So cute.”
“Bro is strutting his s**t.”
“Now you can tell by the way he uses his walk he’s a woman’s man, no time to talk.”
“Some rockin’ lettuce.”
“Too much swag.. who told him this was okay?”
“Bro knows he’s the main character.”
“Absolutely knows that he’s rocking that hair too.”
“He definitely uses conditioner.”
“Primo lettuce.”
