Bison

[ultimate_heading alignment=”left” el_class=”album-description” margin_design_tab_text=””]Commonly referred to as “Buffalo,” the American Bison was all but extinct only 200 years ago. Once roaming across most of the US, their homes included open prairie and woodland habitat. Following the invasion of European settlers the bison were unceremoniously slaughtered in obscene numbers for their hides, to destroy the food source of America’s former inhabitants, and often just for sport. Over the last 150 years, however, these massive icons of the American frontier have made a remarkable recovery! Bison now roam throughout a number of national parks in large herds. There are even intentions among conservation groups and others of slowly reintroducing the iconic American Bison to far more of their former range![/ultimate_heading]

Welcome to Yellowstone

One of the most iconic scenes in Yellowstone National Park, this powerful bison forages amidst his beautiful home.
Bison are a conservation success story. As a result of excessive hunting and with the intent of starving out the American Indians who depended on bison, this powerful creature was all-but extinct by the mid - 1800's. Years later, a wealthy hunter began an initiative to restore the herds. This initiative has since been improved upon and adopted by a number of bison advocates. Today, Yellowstone National Park, alone, houses approximately 5000 of these mighty creatures.
