Once roaming the Great Plains by the millions, then almost hunted to extinction, the American bison (Bison bison) is now the national mammal of the USA. Together with the bald eagle, America’s national bird, the two animals represent the country’s amazing natural beauty, both on land and in the sky. Bison are the largest land mammal in America, an essential part of American history, and a true symbol of the American West and the nation as a whole. They’re also a testimony to the power and potential of nature conservation, epitomized by the national parks.
