Bison or buffalo are large, even-toed ungulates in the genus Bison within the subfamily Bovinae.
Two extant and four extinct species are recognized. Of the four extinct species, three were North American: Bison antiquus, B. latifrons, and B. occidentalis. The fourth, B. priscus, ranged across steppe environments from Western Europe, through Central Asia, and onto North America.
Of the two surviving species, the American bison, B. bison, found only in North America, is the more numerous. Although sometimes referred to historically as a "buffalo", it is only distantly related to the true buffalo. The North American species is composed of two subspecies, the plains bison, B. b. bison, and the wood bison, B. b. athabascae, which is the namesake of Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. The European bison B. bonasus, or wisent, is found in Europe and the Caucasus, reintroduced after being extinct in the wild.
While all bison species are classified in their own genus, they are sometimes bred with domestic cattle (genus Bos) and produce fertile offspring called beefalo or zubron.
A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.

Yellowstone National Park (Arapaho: Henihco'oo or Héetíhco'oo) is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone, the first National Park in the U.S. and widely held to be the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than 1,000 archaeological sites.

Man Attacked by Bison After Taking Up-Close Photo with His iPad It seems people still aren’t learning to keep their distance from wild animals when shooting tourist snapshots. A man was attacked and seriously injured by a bison in Yellowstone National Park yesterday after he tried to take photos of it with his iPad from just 3 to 5 feet away. A Yellowstone spokesperson says that the bison was lying the grass near a paved walkway near the famous Old Faithful Geyser. Several people surrounded the bison, and then man decided to step forward and shoot some up-close photos. The Associated Press reports that the 62-year-old Australian was tossed several times into the air by the animal. The National Park service recommends that people stay at least 25 yards away from bison, as they can weigh...
Buffalo appear at standing rock amidst the ongoing protest against North Dakota Pipeline. Native indian Indegenous people and activists were highly encouraged after wild Buffalo herd sighting. Native Americans maintain a spiritual tradition with bison, believing that as long as buffalo — a gift from the Great Spirit — roam free and as long as the herds are bountiful, the sovereignty of indigenous people would remain strong. Indigenous culture honors American bison (known as Tatanka Oyate, or Buffalo Nation) as a symbol of sacrifice, as the bison give their lives to provide food, shelter, and clothing through the use of their meat and their hides. Native Americans attempting to stop a pipeline from being built on their land and water just got assistance from a large herd of wild buffalo....
Bison in the road. Lamar Valley Yellowstone National Park. Sept 2011
Ivan Smith the owner of Big Bend Market in Red Deer Alberta has a very special friend by the name Sarah an 1100 pound Bison ( Buffalo) that will follow him around as he does his daily routines around his Bison farm. Being The Photo Warrior I had to fly there to see this for myself and it was a true pleasure to meet both of them.
On March 19, 2012, about 60 genetically pure bison were relocated from a quarantine facility outside Yellowstone National Park to the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in eastern Montana. The long-awaited move marks the historic homecoming of wild bison to an important part of their historic range on the Great Plains.

Here we are, just the two of us
Far away from the crazy rush
And while the storm is raging
It's safe and warm inside
Close the door and forget about time
Ease the river runnin' through your mind
Lay your body next to me
Let your secrets all be mine
Take my hand and believe me
That love will guide us through
Anytime that you need me
Girl I'll be there for you
While the world is going crazy
While the sky is falling down
One thing you can depend on
I will always be around
While the rain outside is pouring
I will make the sun shine through
While the world is going crazy
You can count on me
Cause I'll be loving you
Cause I'll be loving you
I turned on the news today
But I don't wanna hear a word they say
Outside the world is breakin' down
But we don't have a clue
Like a scream in an empty room
It's gettin harder just to find the truth
Let's forget it 'till the night is through
It's all about me and you
We can make our own heaven
It's not so hard to find
Cause girl I will protect you
Until the end of time
It doesn't really matter
If you win, lose or draw
I will be your shelter
I will catch you when you fall
All you do is just trust in me
I will keep you satisfied
Close your eyes and enjoy the ride
While the world is going crazy
(crazy)
While the sky is falling down
(falling down)
One thing you can depend on
I will always be around
(I'll be right there for ya baby)
While the rain outside is pouring
(pouring down)
I will make the sun shine through
While the world is going crazy
You can count on me
(you can count on me girl)
Cause I'll be loving you
(cause I'll be loving you)
(cause I'll be loving you)
I'll be loving you
All you do is call
