This herd of bison resides at a nature park in our city. You can see them from a viewing mound, a tree house or just standing outside the fenced area.You probably have a great view if you live in one of those big homes overlooking the park. The center also has organized safaris of the bison herd.
It was interesting to learn that only two species of bison have survived today; the American bison (also called buffalo) found in North America and the European bison found in Europe.
The American bison has two subspecies– the plains bison and the wood bison. The bison in this photo is the plains bison. Six other species of bison that roamed the earth millions of years ago and up to 3,000 BC are now extinct.

I once saw a Bison in the Lion Park in West Auckland, now the Lion Park is gone and haven’t seen one since. Nice post
Too bad. I think they are becoming quite rare.
Wonderful photo showing the bison in their natural habitat!
Great entry! 🙂
Thanks for visiting and your kind comments
I wish i could fly to africa to see wild animal like i see in National Geographic Channel
That is my wish too, maybe we will one day.
There are some neighbors that live close that do have bison. I have taken photos before. And I have had a bison burger before, it was good.
That is interesting, they must have a lot of acreage.
We don’t have buffalo. I can only see them at the zoo.
The zoo is a great place to see animals you can’t see in the wild.
With us, the buffalo does not live in nature … I only saw it in the zoo
I fear they will soon all be extinct but for now wiIl enjoy seeing them in nature
Oh, I’ve never seen a bison in real life. Unfortunately, we don’t get these in England. But they are such majestic creatures. I think they’re lovely.
I enjoy looking at them especially the babies.
