The American bison (Bison bison), also called the American buffalo or simply buffalo (not to be confused with true buffalo) is native to North America. It is one of two extant species of bison, alongside the European bison. Once roaming in vast herds, the species nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population of 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was culled down to just 541 animals by 1889 as part of the subjugation of the Native Americans, because the American bison was a major resource for their traditional way of life (food source, hides for clothing and shelter, and horns and bones for tools). Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild bison as of March 2019. A bison has a shaggy, long, dark-brown winter coat, and a lighter-weight, lighter-brown summer coat. Male bison are significantly larger and heavier than females. Heights at withers in the species can reach up to 186 to 201 cm (6 ft 1 in to 6 ft 7 in). Typically weights can range from 318 to 1,179 kg (701 to 2,599 lb).

Borassus flabellifer, commonly known as doub palm, Sugar palm, palmyra palm, tala or tal palm, toddy palm, lontar palm, wine palm, or ice apple, is a fan palm native to South Asia (especially in Bangladesh and South India) and Southeast Asia. Borassus flabellifer is a robust tree and can reach a height of 30 meters (98 ft). The trunk is grey, robust, and ringed with leaf scars; old leaves remain attached to the trunk for several years before falling cleanly. ''Taal er bora'' is a Bengali delicacy and the name itself explains the recipe. Here the word 'Taal' or 'Tal' means Sugar palm and 'Bora' means fritters. It is a sweet tasted deep-fried fritter prepared with a batter of palm pulp, all-purpose flour, rice flour, grated coconut, and sugar. Peeling the sugar palm and extracting the palm pulp from each kernel is the toughest job of the recipe. During the month of August and September, ripe sugar palm is available in West Bengal. Taler bora or Sugar Palm Fritters recipe is one of the most anticipated recipes for Bengalis for which they wait for the whole year to get black ripe sugar palms. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 11/08/2023.
