Yellowstone is the only place in the United States

Yellowstone is the only place in the United States where Bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. Yellowstone bison are exceptional because they comprise the nation’s largest bison population on public land and are among the few bison breads that have not been hybridized though interbreeding with cattle. Currently there are 4,829 (counted in August 2019). There are two primary herds: Northern (3,667) and central (1,162). By 1902 the Yellowstone heard was hunted down to two dozen animals. The best place to see are Hayden & Lamar Valleys. Make sure you don’t approach the Bison as they are wild animals, especially in the spring around their young. #VisitPowell #PowellWy
