Wood Bison - a photo on Flickriver

Wood Bison

            A pair of wood bison seen in northern British Columbia.  They are noticeably larger than our Plains Bison.  Another fine specimen in comments.

Wood bison, the largest animal in the Americas, once roamed throughout present-day Alaska and western Canada. But unregulated hunting in the 1800s nearly wiped them out, and by the middle of the 20th century some thought the animals were extinct. But then, in 1957, a small herd was found in a remote part of Alberta by the crew of a plane flying overhead.  Since then, their numbers have rebounded to around 11,000 in Canada, as governmental organizations have helped breed and repatriate them to a few parts of their former range.  May they thrive and prosper.

Have a wonderful Spring week!
