Nah, these guys were BUILT to survive cold weather. The bison there, depending on how old it is, is anywhere from the size of a motorcycle to the size of an SUV, with a large chunk of that being straight fat and thick fur. Probably not loving it, but they’ll be fine enough.
The fur covered in snow is a very good sign - it means it’s keeping its heat well inside, with the heat that is escaping not even managing to melt the snow that’s stuck to it. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s actually doing alright under there.
still cold af though. was in Montreal years ago for -35 (interestingly enough, the temp where F is roughly equal to C).
car battery was just about dead, and my jeans froze stiff from walking 10 mins outside.
Is it… is it… dead?

Built to survive cold weather is an understatement.
These guys made it through the Ice Age

Plus don’t forget they continuously cycle heat away from their skin & extremities via the magic of countercurrent exchange. 🌈
