Bison, Antelope Flats, Grand Teton National Park. February, 2020.
I briefly considered titling this photo “skeptical-looking bison wearing capri pants.”

Here’s a cute little baby bison (also known as a “red dog”) to start the day. (Yellowstone National Park. May, 2019.)

I feel like being told by #indigenous Elders it would be nice if they could bring back the #bison , but then deciding dire wolves are a better choice is totally missing the point of their self-stated mission. I’d don’t think we can really call dire wolves a keystone species. https://www.thefp.com/p/is-dire-wolf-real-colossal-deextinction #direwolf #genetics #geneediting
The Fluffy Cows 
were out! They were in a narrow transfer area waiting to be moved to another bit of prairie. Zeena and Tonttu of course were excited to say hi.
The sign on the fence says that everyone must stay 10 feet away from the fence for safety reasons, but doing so would have meant standing on the side of the slope! We broke the rules and stayed on the trail >>10' from the fence. 
One winter, they kept elk together with the bison. I often wonder why they don't allow animals who cohabit well to share spaces, as it could mean much larger spaces for them and it seems more natural, but, anyway, I enjoyed this visit.

My next Canadian 
province is Manitoba with its provincial animal the bison and flower the crocus (Anemone patens) in this linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, pale violet, umber and brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.
It's no mystery how the bison could symbolize this prairie province. Manitoba is one of the few places where

Bison in Yellowstone National Park spent over 100 years as two genetically distinct herds. But now they're roaming as one interbreeding population, a new study suggests. Herds of wild bison have meandered through Yellowstone's vibrant landscape since prehistoric times. Grazing freely in the expansive grasslands of the park, these are the last free-range bison in the United States. https://www.livescience.com/animals/land-mammals/yellowstones-iconic-bison-herds-have-merged-into-a-single-entity-after-100-years-of-wandering-the-park
After 120 years of conservation efforts, #Yellowstone #bison are a single breeding population derived from multiple historic bison herds, researchers discover
Bison like those in Yellowstone once suffered a population crisis that conservationists call the "population bottleneck" of the 19th century. By the early 1900s, American bison numbers had been reduced by 99.9% across North America and only 23 wild bison were known to have survived poaching in Yellowstone.

The Nature Conservancy at Dunn Ranch Prairie in NW MO has a live cam on the Greater Prairie Chickens, an endangered species that can still be found at Dunn Ranch. You may be able to see some Bison too!
