Bison
Commonly called “buffalo”, bison are the largest land mammals in North America. Bison were hunted to near-extinction in the 1800s. Today bison are making a comeback and Defenders is helping to make this a wildlife success story.

The plan would likely end the annual capture and shipping to slaughter of many of the bison that leave the park each winter in search of food and may help set the stage for restoring the animals to other parts of the state.
