The story of the North American Bison (Bos bison bison)
is mysterious and tragic. Once, large herds supported
the native people of the plains
and nourished the first explorers
and settlers. But by 1875,
millions of Bison had diminished
to a few hundred,
mostly in captivity. Often
wrongly called buffalo, the
Bison is British Columbia’s
largest land animal, and one
of the rarest. Although the
total number of Bison in
North America has increased
and the species is not at risk
today, there are few wild
herds left, and we know
almost nothing about the
wild Bison that originally
roamed the great plains.
