Bison and Friend

National Bison Day is today! Celebrated on the first Saturday in November, the day honors our national mammal, the bison. The US Senate created the day in 2012 with the encouragement of conservation groups and Native American tribal organizations. The bison is also the state mammal of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. Bison were almost hunted to extinction, but today the animals can be found in refuges and ranches.
