My husband and I had the privilege to babysit a neighbor's " american bison ". His name was " Stanley ". We would visit Stanley daily and feed him and texas longhorns from the back of a small flatbed truck. We found Stanley a pleasant fellow ( uncut ) and was graceful as he ran behind the truck with a bale of hay in the back. We were surprised by Stanley's easy SMOOTH speed easily keeping up with the truck with hay in the back. Sadly Stanley passed from natural causes. Miss him.

There is an interesting history behind the official bison herd of Texas. The original Goodnight/JA herd had genetics only unique to themselves and unlike any other in North America. However the uniqueness would turn out to be a liability in that they would not survive because it was not diverse enough. Eventually they were breed with some of Ted Turner’s herd in New Mexico. And the Texas bison went in to populate other bison in the country such as the ones in Yellowstone. The official herd of Texas now roams freely in Caprock Canyons state Park which is not that far from the Goodnight herd in Palo Duro Canyon state park. I highly recommend both parks.

Those were just the skulls. The information stated in this did a good but conscious effort to skirt the fact that eliminating all of the buffalo was a concerted plan by American leaders to kill off the Native Indians. They don't teach this in most schools because it was a Government organized attempt of genocide and they almost pulled it off. Until around 1832, which is only 192 years ago and is not some ancient history, buffalo were thriving east of the Mississippi River. BTW- There were hired gunners on trains that targeted passing herds that had people loading their guns for them so they could shoot and kill as many buffalo as possible. Shoot one grab a loaded gun, shoot one grab a loaded gun..... Unlike at all what was stated, is that they didn't use the dead buffalo to feed the railroad workers or any other people and they didn't use them as resources, they just left all of the states covered in hundreds of thousands of rotting buffalo carcasses on their way west to take over and populate the country. Hiding our uglier side of history like we did with the real truth about slavery. Is it that "His story" was just a really just a made up story?

Biological warfare and starvation, a Genocide ... Leading to wounded knee and the trail of Tears.. 💀 Yet the legacy of Sitting Bull and Chief Joseph and others, survived like these few Buffalo ...

Ok just to answer. The term back then though bison was the same as African Buffalo. They are both similar to on another. It's similar to what a pit bull is termed today. American Stafford terrier is the actual origin as English Bull terrier. Which is the real pit bull term from English. America tends to use the mistaken identity of animals. The bison VS Buffalo American Stafford (incorrect)vs English bull terrier(correct). Jack London wrote the terms wrong and So bison and Buffalo, were called wrong from 1900 wrong. And so the term were pretty dumb. He did that then. It hasn't changed. The terms were first written in 1898 as Buffalo/ Pit Bull Terrier VS England in terms you can understand today that "Call of the Wild" started the wrong cases. Just so a reader which means what, American Stafford terrier didn't nor Buffalo were terms originally used. The English bull terrier got the name "pit bull " going back over a thousand years to fight in the bulls in the bull pits in England ended in 1688 as illegal. The term Buffalo goes back wrong even more so. All just so you know the American Stafford terrier started existence in about 1800 in Stafford Virginia given the meaning. Take both terms and that's what it meant.

Being a farm boy that raised cattle he didn't like seeing the Matador slowly bleed out the bull with pikes as he run by until he was so blood-lost that he didn't have any more fight in him and then walk up to him like a big shot and drive his sword into him when he didn't have any fight left.

During one occasion, we happen to have friends staying in the same hotel (newly built in the Chamezal area). Elegant stairs, indoor bars that spilled out into various sitting niches, outdoor sunken bar/poolside with a ledge to stand on in the pool; so you could swim to the bar and perch there while drinking your daiquiri, then swim off after being refreshed!

When I was young and living on our farm I witnessed a confrontation when our big Brown Swiss bull had it out with the neighbors Charolais bull. Our bull, Roy, had enough of the neighbors bull baying at him and chasing one of his cows in heat. Roy was across the road behind 4 strands of barbed wire. I could not believe it when Roy went over the wire, crossed the road, and jumped a cattle-guard. He continued charging and the other bull charged as well. I had no idea they were going to head butt, I thought they would just holler at each other and maybe push each other around, as I'd seen done before. Boy was I wrong. They hit like 2 locomotives and the fat and muscle on both bulls rippled like a wave from their head back to their tail and back towards their head. Then they backed up and and did it again. I got scared they were going to kill each other. But the Charolais went down on his front knees after the second hit and Roy stood there pawing the ground, ready to go again. The Charolais got up and headed for home. I don't think he ever crossed over and chased Roy's gals again. I saw Roy take on several bulls that strayed onto our place, usually over cows in heat. But the funniest was when the other neighbors' big white stallion took him on. It used to harass the cattle, biting them and giving a little kick sometimes. When he met Roy, Roy turned to look at him and got a hoof between the eyes. Then Roy turned 90% and rammed Sugarfoot (the horse) in the side and down he went. Roy was just about to run him into the ground, but the horse jumped up and fled. I remember several other encounters Roy had and he never lost. As big and powerful as he was, he was just about the gentlest bull I ever saw. We used to ride him and he just trotted around, never trying to dump us.

I am surprised that a Brown Swiss bull was big enough to handle a Charolais. When I owned a ranch in southeastern Oklahoma, I had what was supposed to be the second-best bull ever recorded in the world, with another Charolais in France being the best. My Charolais was raised by someone from the town just south of Oklahoma City where the university is. I kept two bulls; one was a registered Black Angus that I kept for my heifers, because the Charolais was too heavy for small, young first breeding beef cattle. The way they measure cattle to determine their national standing (and I don't remember everything) is by taking sonic measurements of the ribeye, their weight per day of age, their weening weight, and more. Some of the Hunts, of oil company fame, had a Charolais ranch out west on Highway 80 on the north side of the highway. When they had a big sale of their cattle, they printed up a thick catalog with most of their bulls on separate pages with their pedigree listed. I had to laugh to myself to see that none of them came close to the quality of my bull but would sell for far more I would have been able to sell my bull. I wish I had a place now, but one can't pursue two dreams at once.

[@bernadettecartin]

It`s not quite fair to blame "hunters" for the near-extinction of the bison. It was a deliberate policy to deprive the Plains Indians of their livelihood.

Charles Goodnight founding manager of the famous JA Ranch in the vast region of Palo Duro Canyon (Texas version of Grand Canyon) saved the last of the bison in the Panhandles of TX & OK. He experimented with crossbreeding bison and Hereford cattle. One of the Lonesome Dove (actor TL Jones) characters was based on Goodnight. He carried large amounts of cash to buy land from stressed ranch and farm owners he encountered. To protect himself he trained a Border Collie to sleep on his chest when camping on the range. Goodnight married late in life and had no children.

Ok....I'm calling BS. This narrative says that hunters for the RR would kill 100,000 buffalo per day. BS. It also stated that these hunters used high powered rifles that could drop a buffalo from 1000 yards away. That comment is true but there were not a handful of hunters on the plains who could make that shot without luck, beyond skill, oozing from their ears. Shots up to and usually not more than 500 yards were the norm. And, Im familiar enough with American Western History to understand that there were exceptions but they weren't common.

[@-John-Doe-]

It’s mostly a narrative of evil oppressive Europeans bent on destroying nature. _(ironic considering the obsession with conservation)_ Estimated population, before & after, with a single variate narrative to explain the change. In contrast, people rarely discuss the introduction of the horse and firearms to the Comanche and its consequences.

Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World “true” buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related.

[@debluetailfly]

Everybody knows that. But we have been calling bison buffalo for at least as long as European man has been in North America. We have towns and cities named Buffalo. There were buffalo wallows, buffalo roads, buffalo hunters, buffalo guns. And there are at least 2 Buffalo Rivers. I like callin' 'em buffalo, or buffler as many old timers did.

Almost correct. "True" buffalo (members of the Bubalus genus) are only in Asia - these being water buffalo and such. African buffalo (genus Syncernus) aren't true buffalo either - but they're more closely related to Bubalus than they are to domestic cattle or bison. You're right on the rest, though: bison aren't very closely related to any of them, and are most closely related to yaks.

Outside of a human using technology, no land animal on Earth has a chance of taking down an elephant in a physical confrontation.

[@TwinTurboLsx]

@@Unpainted_Huffhines believe it or not, some lions have gotten hungry enough to take down elephants and even giraffes. While this isn’t 1 v 1, I feel like the dramatic size discrepancy kinda evens the odds.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

@@TwinTurboLsx I am aware. A number of lions can combine efforts to take down a lone young, old, or ill elephant. But a healthy bull is pretty much unchallengable.

[@Azznbad]

​@@Unpainted_Huffhineswell I'm no expert but I have seen a pride of lions take down a good sized elephant. It's just a matter of wearing it down with superior numbers. Lions rarely get elephants isolated to kill one but it happens often enough that the Lions know to close the trunk to help stop it breathing.

[@TommySandman-ok2ei]

Black Elk tells a story of a bull that fought a bison. The two charged at each other : the bison's horns tore a huge gapping wound from the bulls head to its tail. The bull fell over dead having been sliced from head to tail.

9 times out of 10, it was probably a black Aberdeen-Angus bull that got killed by the bison 🦬.

THANK YOU!!! I have been hoping someone would post this comment. I read that book some years ago, and was hoping someone else would have as well. He said the Indians were betting on the bison (he called it a buffalo but I don't want to bring all the corrections people out) and the whites were betting on the bull. I can't remember if it was a longhorn or not. I do remember everyone questioning how the bison would be able to connect with its tiny horns and most people, including the boy Black Elk, thinking the bull had a big advantage in its reach. He told another story about a bear and a dog that were made to "fight.". Remember that one?

Tell it to the character George Kennedy played in that ‘Virginian’ episode “THE NOBILITY OF KINGS” who stumbled upon a sickly steer the day before the big cattle drive to Cheyenne begun. After stumbling onto the steer in question he wanted to shoot down every individual in the herd that one steer was from, but faced opposition from both the owner of the steer as well as the title character of The Virginian himself until the town vet made his analysis, and said that the herd in question had to be destroyed, including a newly added black Aberdeen-Angus bull. Just check out the IMDb file on the episode as well as the IMDb file of the 1974 made-for-tv movie “BULL OF THE WEST”, which includes footage from the same episode mentioned.

My only complaint about your story is your repeated pronunciation of Fort Pierre. In South Dakota the name is pronounced Peer. My Brother in Law is a singer/song writer in Custer SD. He wrote a song about Scotty Philips entitled "The Man who saved the Buffalo" Custer State park is home to one of the largest buffalo herds in the world and can be traced to Scotty Philips herd. Each year Custer State park has a round up of the herd which allows a heathly population and several other herds across America have started from them. All thanks to Scotty Phillips.

[@ricdonato4328]

That is not a buffalo, it is a Bison! Buffalo never lived in the Western Hemisphere. Buffalo and Bison are two distinct animals, similar to calling a Zebra a horse which it is not. Buffalo live in South Africa better known as Cape Buffalo. Also, the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), also called the domestic water buffalo or Asian water buffalo, is a large bovid originating in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. A quick search will clearly explain in great detail the differences between Bison and Buffalo; two distinct animals.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

[@spaceracer23]

It's a buffalo. Why? Because that's what the animal was called in North America for centuries. You're not clever. You're pedantic. It's like saying that's not a Frisbee!!! Frisbees are made by Wham-O! That's a flying disc.

[@Floridaman1780_]

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

To those believing that a bison is not a buffalo Buffalo most commonly refers to:True buffalo or Bubalina, a subtribe of wild cattle, including most "Old World" buffalo, such as water Buffalo Buffalo (Bison), a genus of wild cattle, including the American Buffalo. To understand the huge genus and subspecies of the bovine family requires more than just a glance at the subject matters.
