Bison cross a river for the first time - Banff National Park

[@tothelighthouse9843]

Wonderful to see them back in the landscape they belong to.💖

[@parkscanada]

Thanks for watching!

[@doggonedean5314]

Yes. Go Canada. It's been close to 40 years since I've been to that part of the world, but it's been etched in my mind. These creatures will only add to an already stunning environment.

[@kevinkarbonik2928]

I'm lucky,,,I only live an hour from there.....

[@jasonfox6924]

the pair of mom n calf both looked excited to see and feel the water

[@grupoalffran389]

Nice to see buffalo being retroduced to Banff National Park.

[@qa4057]

Heartening to see humanity undoing the damage historically inflicted on nature's species. God bless!

[@ksmith9050]

Great to see this...I hope the herd is thriving!

[@davebloggs]

they started off at 16 animals now number over 60 so it is looking good.

[@onetuliptree]

Wow beautiful sight and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

There is hope for us ! great work!

[@JennyBroadbridge]

Great job Parks Canada!

[@gordongilbertson943]

Saw one of these critters on Divide pass (Clearwater Side) last September long weekend. It looked much more comfortable in the snowstorm than we were.

[@parkscanada]

That's awesome, Gordon. How lucky! Thanks for sharing.

[@ricksearle9316]

I agree. A very exciting and important re-introduction. Liked the video as well, except the weird colour balance shift at 2 min. mark.

[@MrStirCrazy]

Wow great job guys!

[@toffeebluenose7331]

That river looks clean enough to drink out of.

[@garryanderson5195]

Luv it...you make my heart soar...new home

[@JoeBlow-fp5ng]

We need more of this in the US.

[@RyetheBred]

look up American Prairie Reserve!

[@russg1801]

Clearly these big herbivores would keep grassland from turning into thicket and woodland.

[@litoceanlitocean829]

Wow great job !!!!

[@parkscanada]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Enoshk]

Sasquatch and dogman are gonna love em😋

[@josemartinezgonzalez2450]

[@RyetheBred]

[@kiankyars]

Nice!

[@darleneross9243]

exciting

[@1badcrow463]

The Eastern slopes and foothills may also get bison..... Containing them is only one of the issues.....

[@misti-step]

so theyre bringing them in with the goal of having them be wild and self sustaining, instead of domesticated bison?

[@parkscanada]

Thank you Gabbyb. More information is available on our website www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/info/gestion-management/bison

[@doctordutch]

how's it going now?

[@parkscanada]

Hi there! You can follow updates on the Banff National Park bison herd here: www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/info/gestion-management/bison/blog.

[@b123ilic8]

That's nice but just down the street the restaurants serve bison burger .

[@DwightStJohn-t7y]

So, Elk Island doesn't have any creeks or rivers or water courses or............!!!!

[@beverleytinker2318]

So how much will Canada charge for a license to hunt these gorgeous creatures?

[@senkamarkovic8758]

They shouldn't hunt em anymore. They were near extinction only 130 years. I mean from 60 milion animals They were only 485 bison left. They roamed whole North American continent.

[@BIGPOLEHERBEAR]

How many are left ? or are they just feeding the wolves like they did with the caibou ?

[@buffmf]

Beautiful! Doing God's work!
