American Buffalo Bison mother feeds young calf river meadow. Yellowstone Park bison herd in Yellowstone National Park is one of the oldest and largest bison herd in the United States. Once numbered in the millions, perhaps between 25 million and 60 million by some estimates, and they were possibly the most numerous large land animal on earth. Yellowstone is famous for its geothermal activity and large mammals, such as elk, wolves, American bison, bears, pronghorns, moose and bighorn sheep. Bison are large herd animals that defend their young vigorously. Hunting is not allowed inside Yellowstone National Park but bison, wolves, elk and other animals that leave the park can harvested. The herd is about 4,000 American Plains Buffalo. However by the late 1880s, they had been hunted to near extinction. Don Despain of Rekindle Photography. 9247
