American Bison: National Mammal of the US

On May 9, 2016 the American Bison was designated as the US’s National Mammal! The American bison (Bison bison), is a species of bison native to North America. Bison are often called buffalo, though this term is also used to refer to other bovines. It is one of two extant species of bison, alongside the European bison.

Once roaming in vast herds, the species nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population in excess of 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was down to just 541 animals by 1889. Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild bison today. For many years, the population was primarily found in a few national parks and reserves.

Fun Facts:
Bison are the largest mammal in North America.
Since the late 19th century, the Department of Interior has been the primary national conservation steward of the bison. Public lands managed by the Department of Interior support 17 bison herds -- or approximately 10,000 bison -- in 12 states, including Alaska.
While bison and buffalo are used interchangeably, in North America the scientific name is bison. Historians believe that the term “buffalo” grew from the French word for beef, “boeuf.”
While bison have poor eyesight, they have excellent senses of smell and hearing. Cows and calves communicate using pig-like grunts, and during mating season, bulls can be heard bellowing across long distances.
A little dirt won’t hurt. Called wallowing, bison roll in the dirt to deter biting flies and help shed fur. Male bison also wallow during mating season to leave behind their scent and display their strength.
