crazy. I had no idea that bison were so fast... though I guess it shouldn't surprise me. evolutionarily speaking, there were several predators on the american plains--and they'd have had to have had the same selection pressures toward speed that wildebeest do (though wildebeest' obviously face the same selection pressures today, while we've killed off most of the great plains predators).
