Examining the nature of the beast.

[TheStreakWolf]

"If a bison raises its tail it's going to do one of two things. It will charge or discharge." - My grandfather who worked as a ranger in Yellowstone for almost 50 years.

that photo of the two people standing on/by the literal pyramid made from bison skulls will never cease to haunt me

[MrWaspMan]

On a continent with most of it's megafauna extinct, it's great that we still have these reminders of a bygone era. But it's scary how close we were to that not being the case.

My family used to raise 30-40 bison on a small farm in Wisconsin. They really are amazing creatures.

[foofy]

The picture with the giant mound of bison skulls stunned me, really puts into perspective the absolute scale of all the death

[vincentsablan]

Okay, Danielle. The "bison, bison, bison" dance was SUPER CUTE!!!
I love your delivery of this content. Your team does a FANTASTIC job mentioning all relevant points and to the curious or ---in my case, the uninformed.
Great work, guys!!!

This was such a fun episode. Here in Germany the bison (or „Wisent“ as we call it) is slowly coming back from extinction and it‘s really important for the eco system, even in such a densely populated and small country. Many areas of nature suffer from declining biodiversity because the animals that distribute seeds or eat away invasive plants have been missing for so long. So yay for the bison!

The plains bison are very frustrated by being called "buffalo", so much so they call themselves "bison bison bison".

I'm happy you're doing more videos in Saskatchewan, we have amazing wildlife here that should be appreciated.
Saskatchewan's provincial bird is the sharp-tailed grouse.

They're survivors despite being hunted immensely and treated as target practice. Nature is interesting to see with these creatures.

I would like a similar video on Elk in both North America and Europe including Red Stag, and throw in extinct history / Ice Age. That would be a month or more of work. This Chanel has became my relaxing moment in life. You and all the crew do a great job!

[DracowolfieDen]

the image of men standing on top of a seemingly infinite number of bison skulls never fails to make me cry

[robpolaris]

I’ve never seen a bison jump thru the snow like that, absolutely incredible. They are shockingly agile!

[pdiddlyd]

I waited so long for this. Thank you for doing it! More people need to understand how close they were to becoming extinct. I'm happy you help bring more attention to it.

Bison are also important to the prarie because its hooves are cloven and pointed which break up and till the soil where they walk and run, and as you mentioned, their shaggy fur caries seeds long distances, as well as has great fertilizer that doesn’t burn the ground.
They are grass farmers

Temperature: -20 and feet of snow.
Bison: rookie numbers, catch me outside

[josephstone]

Bison have been one of my favorite animals ever since I was a little kid. Hearing about their gradual comeback makes me so incredibly happy. Thank you for making this video.

[moukidelmar]

One thing you forgot to mention is that American Bison are now considered a species that is "near threatened" due neatly entirely to bison farming all over the US and Canada. It's a bit sad they have come back from the edge of extinction just because humans are eating them, but a win is a win

[Jesus-qvsw]

Im glad you mentioned that they ranged to northern México, and im glad too about the fact that Yellowstone doned us 23 individuals to make a herd on Rancho El Uno Chihuahua, which now has like 200 individuals and has worked as a seed to establish another pure herd on Maderas del Carmen, Coahuila.

This is one of my favorite Channels... Danielle is such an inspiration. She and her group are doing a great job promoting wild life, conservationism, education... wrapped in a fun to watch experience. And her illustrations are amazing! Love this channel!
