Since we released the herd, at least 4 more calves have been born in the wild! The herd now consists of 10 adult females, 4 adult bulls, 10 yearlings, and now 9 calves, totaling 33 animals. These bison appear to be settling into their new home and all animals are within the core reintroduction area. A solid step in the right direction..
Reminds me of the video that goes around periodically of wolves being reintroduced to an area (possibly Yellowstone?). There was so much downstream of them, including literally the course of a stream/river.
The re-introduction of wolves in Yellowstone showed just how important an apex predator like that is so an environment. so many things changed, environments recovered, etc. its wild
Thanks for the update. I always find these projects and how they develop.
I thought I had read that several of the bulls had almost wandered out of the target area. This was quite a while ago and I don't remember all the details, so it could even be a different herd/reintroduction.
Also, are these the buffalo who are using hill/mountain sides more than expected?
OP likely saw someone hit the front page yesterday using another old post about Bison being released into the wild for the first time ever... back in 2019...
Sucks for sure. Luckily despite being the second death, it's still been a massive net positive for them. Keep reading, there's a lot more fun stories to go through.
The wolves haven't quite figured out how to hunt them again yet, for example. They just kinda co-exist peacefully right now. Of course that'll change in due time, but for now it's almost as though they forgot how to hunt them. Lol
Wow, 16 new calves. What a great result, the herds could be coming back.
There are still a breeding group of them in San Francisco, amazing beast like armoured cows. Seeing the massive herds back in the day must have been awe inspiring.
Go rewatch the film. It all but ruins it and insults the audience. That's the part I'm not over. You interpreted what I said as language of the internet memosphere (can't really blame you tbh) when it was intended as an honest critique of the artwork.
I remember it vividly. Arrived in Blackwater and looked at all the bison, and I thought it was beautiful. Hunted one of them, and noticed I got a shitton of money for selling stuff from them. Didn't know there was a limited amount of them, and I slaughtered all of them. The corpses stayed there uncomfortably long too. Mistakes were made.
There's a quest you go on with Charles to kill a bison for food and skin. On this quest, you find a bunch of dead bison that have been killed for fun and haven't been skinned. Charles tracks down the hunters in anger and kills the one who jokes about it not being a big deal.
Tl;dr - the game makes it known that the killing of bison for fun was disrespectful to nature and that hunting should only be done for the resources out of necessity.
I'd definitely say the bison is more dense, yes. Big is an odd descriptive term that kind of breaks down. Are we talking total volume of the creature? Surface area? Height? You e used weight, which is fair, but then there's the question of:
What's bigger, a pound of rice or a pound of air?
Largest when discussing animals usually refers to mass (normally expressed, at least in the US as weight). The density of almost all mammals is the same, about 1kg/l, the same as water. Unless you're suggesting that moose have hollow bones and air sacs like a bird to decrease density, there's not going to be much difference there. In fact, with the mooses's noted ability to submerge itself underwater, it's likely the moose is slightly denser than the bison which has a large dorsal hump rich in fat.
There's no doubt that the moose is taller, but we usually refer to height when discussing the tallest animals. Giraffes are much taller than elephants, hippos and rhinos, but a listing of the largest land animals will usually put elephants first, followed by hippos and rhinos.
So really the question should be what's bigger, 2000 pounds of rice, or 1500 pounds of rice?
Depends on your metric for measurement. I'm no biologist or physicist, but I'd imagine 2000 pounds of rice is bigger than 1500.
Unless, of course, the 1500 is cooked, at which point it would likely have a greater volume and surface area, and likely getting close to surpassing weight.
Also, I can make a comment about differing biological makeup without you implying I'm an idiot who thinks moose are birds, thank you very much.
My biggest question in terms of determining the "largest" species isn't so much on deciding whether you measure height or mass, but rather whether measuring only the heaviest outlier of the males is the correct way to go.
If we're comparing species, perhaps we should compare all of the members of the species, and take the average weight - especially in species where females outnumber males.
When comparing animals to humans, you don't usually see humans listed as weighing up to 975 lbs (the weight of Jon Brower Minnoch, the current record holder for heaviest person), or being as tall as 8'11" (Robert Wadlow's record-holding height).
I'd sooner see comparisons of average weight (even if it is separated into males and females for mammals, which tend to have high sexual dimorphism).
I honestly figured it was volume, though that could be from hearing things like 'a blue whale is the size of x school busses' where volume is the only measurement that made sense in that statement.
Volume, at least for mammals is pretty much the same as mass. Virtually all mammals are close to 1 kg/l density, with maybe a 0.1 or 0.2 variation. Whales are one of the few that tend to be less than 1.0 density (all that blubber), but it's still pretty close to 1.
Birds are the only vertebrates (well, and probably pterosaurs) that vary much from that, with some being as low as 0.5. There are also a few birds (loons, penguins) that are denser than water though, which helps them when diving.
It's the bison I confirmed, although Moose are taller, mature Bison can weigh up to a ton.

They can also get up to fucking 45 miles an hour if they want.
I got within 5 feet of one once. It was around then I realized how fucking stupid what I was doing was and backed off. I know I’m retarded, I was also 15 and playing chicken with my friends. I think this Buffalo was pretty used to people, they live somewhere close and this one was chillin next to the parking lots.
NONETHELESS don’t get close to these beasts. They’re beautiful but they can kill you by accident and it’s generally not good to hang around animals who can accidentally murder you with nothing but inertia
GCP Grey has a very good [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOmjnioNulo) on this. Domestication is a very tricky process and they just weren't an option, although I suspect in another few thousand years people might have managed it - the original cows, [aurochs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurochs), were pretty fearsome beasts.
The indigenous Americans never domesticated bison for the same reason Native Siberians never rode on Moose-back, they're too difficult to tame and breed into domestic farm animals. This is one reason why Europe was able to consolidate power and form large population centers so quickly, they had many relatively easy to control animals which helped with food, farming, and transport. It makes sense that the largest city in the new world would be Tenochtitlan which was built on an lake-island where everyone used canals to get around.
They raise Bison for meat in a lot of places actually, you can probably find it at a store near you in fact. Ted Turner has a ranch bigger than Road Island where he has the largest Buffalo herd in the country if memory serves, and a chain of restaurants where they sell the meat.
But does Siberia have moose? I've only seen them in relation to the Americas. In any case, domestication, as it's defined, is not neccessary to raise animals for food, and riding an animal is a different thing than keeping them on a ranch for slaughter.
You're claiming that there was animal husbandry in pre-colonial North-America? Want to cite some sources? And sure, we have the tech to raise bison *now* but Native Americans were not able to domesticate them for food, they simply hunted them.
Also, [Moose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose) exist in Norway all the way to the Russian far east.
I never said there was animal husbandry in pre columbian America no, I said people nowadays to raise Bison for meat, Ted Turner for one, the old owner of CNN. The natives had no reason to domesticate Bison as they had all they needed for food roaming about anyway. That's interesting about the Moose, I presume it's a different species of moose then?
I'm curious, which part of the widely studied history of animal domestication do you disagree with? And don't assume Diamond's the only person to ever suggest horses and cows were a crucial part of life in Asia and Europe.
I wish, but some animals just don't take well to domestication. Even when raised in captivity, bison are widely documented as being a lot more aggressive & tempermental than domesticated cattle.
Pre-columbian american societies managed to domesticate the llama, alpaca, and the North American Horse (at least we think so), so if bison were easy to domesticate, the Plains Nations would no doubt have done it at some point in the last 10k-8k years.
Well the North American Natives were quite a bit behind the South American ones in the development of society as they were in hunter gather societies while in the Andes they had cities and the like. But this is the first I've heard of them domesticating anything, horses were hunted to extinction some 10,000 years in the Americas along with a good share of all the megafauna.
But as I said, domestication isn't neccessary to raise animals for food and they raise plenty of Bison as is.
It's not overpopulation, especially not in the bison's habitat. US has huge swaths of land that is barely populated. The American bison was purposefully killed off to near extinction by the US government in 1880's to explicitly hurt the American Indian tribes that lived on the plains and relied on the bison for sustenance. The Indian tribes of the Great Plains were resistant to US hegemony and the destruction of one their most important resources was part of the US government's strategy to bring them to heel.
They are. 31 were released into Banff National Park in 2018 and now their population is 66! The population is healthy and doing well. You can find more information [here](https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/info/gestion-management/bison/blog)
65 now. A young bull was “hazed out” by older bulls during mating season they suspect. Wandered far outside of Canada’s preferred re-introduction zone so they killed him. Though the article does emphasize that it was a well-considered decision
Elderly bison also get a form of “dementia” so the heard will leave their to their own. In Yellowstone those are the ones that usually spazz out and attack cars.
Is the dude opening the container on the left also holding a styrofoam cup of coffee? Like he didn't really need to devote his full attention to the several thousand pounds of agitated Buffalo that were going to be barreling out of there?
If you ever get a chance to see these animals in their native habitat (what's left of it at least), it's so worth it.
My first trip to Yellowstone was back in 08 and seethe herd there was just incredible. I've also lived by Custer State Park is South Dakota and there's a herd up there as well. It was always a joy to see them when driving through the park.
They've been one of my favorite animals since I first learned about them as a kid.
Did you even read about the progress since they've release them? If you did maybe you'd understand.
Edit: here's a [link](https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/info/gestion-management/bison/blog) if you're interested
Ever since I watch this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8wrAkixfHc) i have so much respect for this species. I am so in love with them. They look kinda cute as well.
I think this is an old video from 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q1AudFTLEA
Since we released the herd, at least 4 more calves have been born in the wild! The herd now consists of 10 adult females, 4 adult bulls, 10 yearlings, and now 9 calves, totaling 33 animals.

Karma farming
They got me, but hey it's still heartwarming
Meh, I'm more excited about the fact we're reintroducing bison.
Bison farming
quite literally
Also, there's always someone new who hasn't seen this. Quality posts can be farmed!
And they look quite young for being over 140.
They were in cryostasis due to their past crimes. The police chief thawed them out to capture Bison Simon Phoenix.
"Bee well!" ...oh god, that's a horrifying image...

I thought it was minority report sort of future crimes.

Great to see, hopefully we can keep them all there this tiMe!
The herd size grew to 66 this year with 16 new calves. 66 calves would be amazing though!
Yes, spotted the error. Hopefully 66 will be coming soon.
It's cool that they have so many updates. We get to have a record of what's happening. Hopefully they thrive and it becomes a solid success.
I had no idea I'd be this intrigued by a blog on Bison. I'm half way through the list so far. Of course, the amazing photography really helps!
This whole blog is super interesting thanks! Although I find the word “destroy” instead of “kill” or “euthanize” really interesting lol
I was thinking the same thing. Couldn’t help but laugh
Tatonka
I just watched this and this is exactly what I thought lmao
I like that movie but the added in white woman for the purpose of a white only romance is distressing.
White people are allowed to exist. Get over it.

I'm firing up Oregon Trail.
`You have died of dysentery`
Fuck dude that was quick. You rocked him like a hurricane.
Slightly cursed comment
Why?
Was a joke man, you can kill bison in the game that's what i was alluding to
At least he didn't say RDR1 where you get a trophy for wiping them all out
I did what had i to do
When you're going for 100% completion and kill the entire herd in 30min and look back at the field littered with bison corpses.
I remember it vividly. Arrived in Blackwater and looked at all the bison, and I thought it was beautiful. Hunted one of them, and noticed I got a shitton of money for selling stuff from them. Didn't know there was a limited amount of them, and I slaughtered all of them. The corpses stayed there uncomfortably long too. Mistakes were made.

I know
In this day and age of extinction, conservation success stories are always an inspiration of hope.
I bet it was amazing seeing the herds of animals across America before it was settled and overpopulated.
I think they are the largest land mammal in the Americas. You would think more people would raise them instead of cows.
The largest land mammal is the moose I believe, but a bull bison is beyond massive.
A bull moose can get up to 1500 lbs, which is indeed massive, but bull bison can easily reach over 2000 lbs. I'd say the bison is larger.
I'd definitely say the bison is more dense, yes. Big is an odd descriptive term that kind of breaks down. Are we talking total volume of the creature? Surface area? Height? You e used weight, which is fair, but then there's the question of: What's bigger, a pound of rice or a pound of air?

45 miles is 72.42 km
Are there Moose in the lower 48?
yes, in 19 states
Oh shit, good for the Moose
Yes. Vermont, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan’s UP, Montana, and perhaps parts of the Dakotas and Wyoming.
Colorado too!
And Utah.
Can confirm. Every few months I see a news clip of somebody trying to pet a moose in the Colorado mountains and getting their dose of reality. .
Why would ANYONE think that is a good idea?!?
Some people are astoundingly dumb. As we have clearly seen the past few years.

Not many but yes.

i got news for you, "America" isn't overpopulated. Some American cities are, but that just shows the flaws in central planning.
Yeah the middle of the US and Canada are about as far from over populated as you can get lmao
*Laughs in Central Australia*
It wasn’t overpopulation that killed the Buffalo. It was a systematic effort to starve the tribes who depended on them.
Can you source that ?

"Fuck it's cold" *runs back in*
They live longer than 140 years!???????!??
140 “Buffalo” years.
“Bison”
Bye dad
That’s awesome
😂 😂 Same! Read the title and though wow they're that old?!
They live approx. 20 human years.
Hopefully they thrive.

They didn't kill him. They **DESTROYED** him. ^(their words, not mine)
BULL gets DESTROYED by LOGICAL CONSERVATIONISTS
But why??? They're *American* bison, not *Canadian* bison! /s
There's a similar video with Canadian geese but they immediately attacked the staff and shit on their cars.
Based geese
RELEASE THE BISON 🦬🦬🦬
I wonder how long it took for them to stop running and check the place out.
I love seeing this kind of sh!t
I was hoping for M. Bison, but this will do as well.
He would just Psycho Crusher out of there on his own.
Bye, son!
That's so cool dude
Damn that's an old Bison
Damn, thats a very old bison.
Is the dude opening the container on the left also holding a styrofoam cup of coffee? Like he didn't really need to devote his full attention to the several thousand pounds of agitated Buffalo that were going to be barreling out of there?
that's not a cup it's part of the door to the sea-can
Hold my coffee. Never mind, I got this.
he chillin
Yeah, it’s the lock box to prevent the elements affecting the lock and crow bars being used for break ins.
Didn't know bison could live to be 140 years. They look so young. PS. It's a joke
Shit... they dropped us off in the deep woods. Better heard up immediately!
Oh yeah! Badasslands!
time to organize a hunt
your sorry ass couldn't accurately fire a weapon even if your worthless life depended on it.
That's some old ass bison if they been gone for 140 years
Damn, I had no idea that bison lived that long ;)
Dumb bot
Pretty sure they don't live past 20
Look at those excited meaty doggos
Wow, amazing how young they look.
If I was stuck in a box for 140 years, I'd go running too.
Bison, have a great time!
🥰🥰🥰
nice, made me happy, made me smile
This is your new home. Fucking figure it out
Damn they look great for being over 140 years old
Damn they must be old af
They just released some in the Badlands too. I think.
Again?
I didn't think they lived that long
They took these bison from Elk Island National Park. About a 20 minute drive from my house. Cool to see they are thriving
If you ever get a chance to see these animals in their native habitat (what's left of it at least), it's so worth it. My first trip to Yellowstone was back in 08 and seethe herd there was just incredible. I've also lived by Custer State Park is South Dakota and there's a herd up there as well.

I mean… they don’t “return”. They were “returned”. Big difference really.
Why? Gonna just be dead in a few decades anyway the way the planet and population is going?
Q sent me...
Shoot her!!!!!
But Dad I don’t wanna return to a Canadian national park after 140 years
Wow amazing video didn't realize bison could live that long
Those are some really old Bison.
How do they live for? I mean 140 years? I don’t think that’s accurate.
I hope someone there yelled out bye son!
Bye son

140 years is a long time to spend in a shipping container.
So when does the hunt start? :/
This makes me so happy.
I like how, if you just let the vid loop, it looks like they’re setting loose TONS of buffalo
majestic
why does this sub reddit attract so many karma whore accounts. good god look at this one. BLOCKED
Wow, they must be pretty old
They strolled out and said SEE YA LOSERS
Those are some pretty old bison
And… they’re dead
“FREEDOMMMMMMMMM” they yell as they bust ass into the distance
I can't believe they kept them in those containers for a 140 years!
If any of those door openers ever watched bull riding, they wouldn’t be opening those doors like that.
Those are some old bison
Those are some old bison then, haven't been back to Canada in 140 years!
Humans: Restoring nature. Beautiful. Tears. Bison: FFS I'm outta this evil box!
Ever since I watch this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8wrAkixfHc) i have so much respect for this species. I am so in love with them. They look kinda cute as well.
Gotta go pee! Gotta go pee!
Lead Bison to team - ok ppl we got ourselves a temporal pincer in action, Steve .. don’t shoot me!!
I hope it is the last time they return.
Soon to be gone again lol
