On9th May 2016, the Obama administration named the “Bison” as the national mammal of the United States of America. The largest land mammal in modern North America weighing more than a ton and maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the native Americans have a tragic and troublesome history.
Bison were in tens of millions in number when the European arrived in the new world, plunged to fewer than 400 before the end of the 1800s and the “destruction of Bison” began from the 1870s till 1883.
