- Up close, they may not be the sweetest-smelling animals on the plains...""But would you want to tell them that?
- Aside from the infrequent grizzly bear...""Only one nonhuman animal is bold enough to tangle with these 2,000-pound bruisers
- The bison tough out food shortages in winter…""Only to gorge on spring and summer grass as they fatten up and prepare for another year
- Many of the protected bison herds in North America live in national parks.""This spot happens to be the first national park established in the United States
