Millions of American Bison or Buffalo once roamed North America in vast herds. They were hunted to the brink of extinction by white hunters for hides and sport. By 1884 there were approximately 325 wild American Bison in the United States, including 25 in Yellowstone National Park. Now there are over 250,000 bison in the United States with less than 10,000 being genetically pure, including around 4,500 in Yellowstone National Park. This painting celebrates the American Bison running free.
