  Thanks! Yellowstone and the surrounding area is the last place in North America where bison truly roam freely. The numbers are in good health. A couple of large herds just made their way to the prairies right near where I am living to forage and spend their summer! Posted 11 years ago

The American bison

The American bison is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. Their range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains.
