This week we discuss the national animal of the United States, the American Bison. We also touch upon its closely related cousin, the European Bison. Once numbering in the millions, the American Bison was reduced to just under 350 animals in the United States. The European Bison\u2019s tale is similar. However, conservation efforts have saved both species and today they number in the thousands.\n\n\nPatreon\n\n\nPlease considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.
