A number of wildlife species threatened or endangered with extinction can be found in the Canadian boreal forest, including woodland caribou, American black bear, grizzly bear, wood bison and wolverine.

Hunters have also contributed heavily to the endangerment, extirpation and extinction of many animals, such as the quagga, the Great Auk, Steller's Sea Cow, the thylacine, the bluebuck, the Arabian Oryx, the Caspian and Javan tigers, the Markhor, the Sumatran rhinoceros, the bison, the North American cougar, the Altai Argali sheep, Asian Elephant and many more.

The American bison is a large bovid which inhabited much of western North America prior to the 1800s, living on the prairies in large herds.

On average, it is slightly lighter in body mass and yet taller at the shoulder than the American bison ( Bison bison ).

Some later descriptions treat the European bison as conspecific with the American bison.

Although superficially similar, there are a number of physical and behavioural differences between the European bison and the American bison.

The European bison has 14 pairs of ribs, while the American Bison has 15.

Adult European bison are ( on average ) taller than American bison, and have longer legs.

European bison tend to browse more, and graze less than their American cousins, due to their necks being set differently.

Compared to the American bison, the nose of the European bison is set further forward than the forehead when the neck is in a neutral position.

The body of the European bison is less hairy, though its tail is hairier than that of the American species.

The horns of the European bison point forward through the plane of their faces, making them more adept at fighting through the interlocking of horns in the same manner as domestic cattle, unlike the American bison, which favours charging.

The American bison ( Bison bison ), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and has made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.
