Bison makes comeback at Yellowstone National Park

- One of the National Park Service's protected animals, the bison, was recently designated by Congress as the nation's first official mammal. Not long ago, this iconic symbol of the American frontier nearly disappeared from the landscape. Mark Strassmann reports on how they made a remarkable comeback.
Bison need to return because they are a keystone species that supports the american prairie.
WarLord 529 Yeah and they're also awesome
They already have returned, their not endangered anymore. Their's 75,000 of them.
There used to be 150million. Just saying...
@su si Try again...
@@notthatguy4703 150 million now would be insane. They would be completely overrunning our cities and causing a lot of damage and problems if there were still that many today.
Great work you all did! I’m very happy for such a kind heart people respect animals live and protect innocent animals.
It’s nice to see buffalo back. American bison or buffalo is an American icon.
It's bison bot nice commete
😂
But.
@@jasiahh9570 Actually, American Buffalo is a recognized term, so they are not wrong.
*Let the Buffulo roam free!*
There's nothing but majority open land in those states.
*Bison
Buffalo are native to Asia and Africa.
@@nybethobdilord6912 1st Americans beg to differ. They are Buffalo.
@@thomassherer5962 buffalo is a word that whites came up with not natives. 😂
@@nybethobdilord6912 I found that hilarious as well! As to the OP I'm sure your willing to give up your home and job for the buffalo as well!
@Hans Johansen how about we just not eat cattle?
Let the Bison roam. They sustain the grasslands for other wildlife species. The Native Americans will support them if they are released on tribal lands. They are magnificent creatures that frame our history as a nation.
If tribes want them to roam on their reservations, fine.
Other than that, they will be regulated.
This is 2020, not 1820.
I agree 100% They deserve to roam, no matter what anyone else here on the internet has to say. Cattle should be regulated, NOT Bison, despite what the right-wing extremist have to say.
Pilamaye, A Truth Much Appreciated!
@@goldenbear8250 Your Mouth Shows The Readers Your Heart. Wacicu
@@brettgarner5813 Exactly, only reason they was getting killed off was because whites wanted to weaken Native American resistance against American westward expansion. Basically Manifest Destiny.
Make a comeback in a National park? They should always be there and protected! Leave them alone, why are Humans allowed to over populate, but other animals do it and it’s wrong.
Careful with that. Wolves overpopulate and they have to be managed sometimes. And I’m a big wolf fan.
They aren’t being overpopulated, there used to be 60 million bison roaming free and they are just trying to bring them back after a mass unnatural killing
Heneecee is the Arapaho word for buffalo. Tatanka is the Lakota word. There were almost as many languages among the people of North America as there were tribes, so a lot of different names for the buffalo. Many languages have gone the way of the buffalo. Buffalo was the white man term used in no man's land, throughout the mid 1800s until now. Buffalo was also an accepted term in text books throughout the twentieth century.
Lilililili Hoka Kola!
Fun fact, at 3:47 is the Mammoth Hot Springs hotel. Summer of 1993, I was the room inspector for the top 3 floors. At the start of the season, others laughed when they heard of my assignment. Because typical summers at Mammoth are hot with little rain. And that hotel had no a.c. Well, I got the last laugh. It turned into one of the coolest and wettest seasons on record. Employee room attendants from the cabins were begging to come in and clean rooms for me. I got this one younger guy that they could not deal with, out at the cabins. His dad was a surgical scrub nurse. His rooms were spotless! The one thing that he wouldn't do, is make a bed. I followed him; wouldn't have to inspect any of his work. And because he would leave his finished room doors propped open, I just simply threw bed after bed together, and closed the door. My boss put this guy on the 2nd floor, where the head of housekeeping office for the whole park was located (at that time).
How in the world could people decimate a 60 million number specie of animal to near extinction? That’s pure barbaric...such a senseless loss to the world
It's a disgrace. I'm truly so disheartened 60 million could be destroyed so quick, 5000 seemed some what impressive until they mentioned 60 million wtf
As the Native American man said in this report, they almost annihilated the Bison/Buffalo because they wanted to displace Native-American food and their way of life. The industrialists of the 1800s also wanted to settle train tracks and homes. The Bison would have destroyed the fencing with a strong force that they once were and disregarded man-made property lines.
América continent is beautiful indeed. From Greenland to Argentina. Not just the United states.
Argentina is on a different continent.
@@goldenbear8250 ignorance
Drskopf actually no, technically yes
Argentina is in South America bro
@@goldenbear8250 Most of the North Americans are extremely ignorant in general, the new world was called America way before it was ever thought of being called America, and it was named by Amerigo Vespucci while sailing the southern tip of what is today South America. You probably never learned it in school because North America doesn't care to educate their citizens about world history and it's countries.
Bison is plural here so the title should read "Bison make..."
I’ve always called them Buffalo, I didn’t know I was supposed to call them Bison because I’m white. 🤷🏻♂️
That's not what he meant I'm sure. I think he meant that the Native Americans called them Buffalo and they were significant to Native American culture. The white men back then came and kinda took over lol. But I'm not totally sure lol.
EXCELLENT history lesson coverage. One to share with others, especially since there's (yet again) heightened interest in America's crown jewel and 1st NP.
2022, now known for Historic flooding in June in Yellowstone and surrounding areas
I'm glad to see the buffalo making a comeback on its natural habitat!!!
Bears,bisons,deer,wolves,pumas and moose. America has so many big animals. Also alligators.
I think...Buffalo Calf Woman, is smiling.
If Yellowstone blows.. there they go.
Dave B contrary to what they say there are many purebred Buffalo in Oklahoma, and other places as well.
They live in Romania and other countries, they won't be extinct
@@penetrateur4497 that's a different species, though.
And Americans.
There is one or two on Catalina
There is also a small wild herd in Alaska, protected on the military reservation. They came from lower 48 herds imported to the North in thex1930s...
There are a lot more than one small wild herd up there!!
I am happy to see this beatiful creature making a comeback lets protect them.because some humans are monsters!
its really something to see this big hoard of animals walking around in a enourmous open field. If it would have been in the woods, it would not have been the same thing.
One of my big dreas is to go to america and see wild buffalo/bison.
Yellowstone does NOT have the only pure bred free range bison herd. You can find them in other places - The Grand Canyon North Rim, the Henry Mountains in south central Utah, several other places.
Unfortunately the north rim herd are not pure bred, close but not quite. Slowly the beefalo genes are dropping out. Even so the herd is managed. See the parks website for history and current management plan.
WE ARE STILL HERE AND WE ARE STANDING STRONG
The decimation of the buffalo was a key in defeating indians.
Funny how they left that out & made it a footnote
Maybe a corridor to some of the bigger Indian reservations.
' Spiritual', no-doubt.
Isn't 'buffalo' also a white person's word?
Dude! I almost fell out my chair when he said that!
I totally agree! The bison need to grow to their former numbers, or if that's not doable, to at least several million roaming wild.
Get real Sammy.
This is 2020, NOT 1820.
@su si The solution seems plane. Move the people, and let the bison rome thru their old home on the open plains. Difficult, but doable, if the will is there.
@@goldenbear8250 Oh, really? I'd forgotten. Thanks for the tip! Seriously, friend, I'm speaking of what is desirable. The practicalities are a different matter.
@@samuelross9884
Desirable for who?
The people you want to relocate?
Somehow I doubt that.
@@goldenbear8250 Desirable for the bison, of course, and the boon in tourism, and environmental benefits as well (more healthy grasslands, for instance), hunting licenses, better and leaner meat for many, a small fix for the damage that has been done over the years to our precious natural resources. Unlikely to happen, but it may happen in small part if capable people get behind the cause.
The thumbnail has them looking cute lol
"The dogs on main street howl cause the understand if I can take a moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, No! I'm a man and I believe in a promised land!" The buffalo almost didn't make it in Yellowstone, without General Philip
H. Sheridan's intervention they would've been extinct!
How come these bison populations don't have to deal with results of inbreeding? I don't know anything about biology, I'd just assume there'd be some issues considering they come from ~25 animals?
it does Michael.just not what many people believe.its not a 1st generation problem.its multiple generational problem.
VergauwenM its possible to believe that the 23 which were left were not brothers and sisters, so you can get a fairly diverse herd out of that.
Others were conserved by tribes & 'white eyes' variously used to avoid inbreeding.
🙄 This is just ridiculous ya'll Enjoy your talk. Toksa Aka
Well, after 100 years, there's enough genetic diversity even after inbreeding.
I don't understand. How many are there right now ?
Bison meat tastes so good. Valuable protein from these wonderful creatures.
they're still endangered boi
Grabbles Not domestic Bison.
oh tru
better then big macs.
I find Bison meat much less flavorful than cattle.
God bless america From Poland when we have a largest Populaton of European country
Bison is the European-American term and buffalo is Native American.
So sad. They destroy and come back and act as the saviors.
Great news I love nature.
Lord Have Mercy
From 60 million to 25😢
Ah yes...man's interjection...
So glad the over get to be sent to the tribes.....They truly deserves it..🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
Closed captioning?
Bison is a scientific term.
I always throught 'America's First Mammal' is Taylor Swift!
js27 She is not purebred.
TheRealOne Thanks
Is bison an offensive term now?
yeah cuz the word Buffalo is so f****** native in Origin! LOL
That's cool and all but have you guys ever tried a buffalo burger?
WILD HORSES OF AMERICA ARE A TREASURE TOO... BUT....UNFORNATUALLY THEY ARE BEING DESTROYED, SAVE THE WILD HORSES TOO. WILD HORSES are an American ICON just as much as the bison are. WILD HORSES ARE BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIC ANIMALS LIKE THE BISON.
Horses were introduced to America by Spanish colonizers. Before them they were long extinct from the Americas
Lol that guy said that he won’t say bison bc it’s a “white man’s term”, as if buffalo isn’t also a “white mans term” xD
You missed his assertion by a wide margin. On a layman's good guess, he meant buffalo- the Spanish word is more appealing than Bison-the European term.
@@Ruttobillions Spanish is a European language dude. You know, from Spain.
Tatanka Oyate is Our People Our Gift Of Love From Tankashila.
Should call them "tonka". Bison is a Latin derived word.
@@guillermorivas7819 maybe but there were and have been countless different groups of indigenous peoples of the Great Plains, so there are probably countless different words from the various language that mean bison
Aa a bison, I like this story.
krepler I also identify as a bison
No more cattle . Much more bison 🦬
@2:42
Native: We don't call them bison, we call them buffalo.
Reporter: Why?
Native: We think of bison as a White man's term.
Facepalming so hard right there. My great grandmother was 100% Native, which means my grandfather is half, and my father is a quarter making me 1/8th on fathers side alone. Not counting the Native blood on my mother and her families side. Got news for that guy, but Buffalo is ALSO a White mans term their chief lol. Not hating on this guy, I have the utmost respect for Natives, but I do live my life as a White man and call myself one. I know I am more White than native, so not trying to live like something I never grew up around. However, I do embrace my native side and am also deeply curious about the old times when my ancestors roamed these lands for thousands of years.
It just irked me the man is using English and saying he calls it something that English also called them before they realized scientifically they were Bison not true buffalo. A buffalo is like what is in Africa and Asia such as a water buffalo, AKA wildebeest.
Buffalo
Origin
Mid 16th century: probably from Spanish or Portuguese búfalo, from late Latin bufalus, from earlier bubalus, from Greek boubalos ‘antelope, wild ox.’
I was just thinking the same thing. The guy is SPEAKING ENGLISH. WHITE MANS LANGUAGE.
ComputerNoises ,if he spoke native, who'd understand?so he speaks fluent white guy,so what?
The point was that he called Buffalo a "Native Term" without outright saying that. When in fact it is a White man term.
Anybody's family that's been in America for more than a hundred and fifty years has a native grand mother.doesnt make you Hiawatha, just makes you tan easier than an the other kids,
Should Ervin done it in native on CBS morning for the house wives and millennials at home that time of day
i thought the reintroduced wolf packs were decimating the buffalo just as they did the deer and elk.
jeffrey goshorn no they are stabilizing the ecosystem not destroying it
Ya no. If that was true bison would have went extinct by the wolves.
bison are the feeder fish of the world prove me wrong
Not ONE case of brucellosis in Domestic cattle NOT ONE!!
Montañas or Montanas please honor our American Buffalo 🦬 Mammal 🇺🇸
Its Our Tatanka Oyate Our Family Our Survival, thanks for lessing Our Culture.
any bison to eat taste great
naw we got plenty in colorado
Nebraska Game and Parks got their buffalo from Cody State Park South Dakota.
There are some in Oklahoma! I have seen a lot of them there. I have also seen some stupid people that think they should try to pet them! That never turns out well! They are smart animals but they don't like to be messed with. When they have young with them they don't like anyone near them. It can be fun camping and wake up in the morning to find them near your camp. If you just move about slowly when they see you they will back off. But don't even think about doing something to make them go! Never had them get within 50 feet my camp but I thought that was really cool to have them that near my camp.
Yellowstone is a huge caldera- a volcano and will it explode soon.
Been waiting for it since before mankind populated the earth.
at 2:06 i was waiting the bison to get up and stampede the dude
Bison roamed the entire lower 48, up to Alaska. Not sure where you get Nevada to Missouri from. I also find it interesting that the Native American reasoning for using the term Buffalo over Bison is because they see Bison as a white man term, when Buffalo is as well. Buffalo is what Europeans erroneously named the animal (just as they named wrongly named Pronghorn, and referred to them as Antelope) therefore they are both white man terms. I am in no way concerned with what Native Americans choose to call the animal, just found the reasoning interesting.
Protect the bison...maybe he should have protected the native too
Derp
Tatanka represents our people ..Dakota Sioux .....I pray to the North for strength and
endurance ...as our connection to to Tatanka does ...in the brutal winter in the Plains ...
They should start hunting ranchers
I just got my 2020 hunting tag for hunting virtue signaling social justice warriors named after southwestern towns.
When are you available?
One clarification the Blackfoot tribesman said they say buffalo instead of bison because they see bison as a white man name. It is the opposite, buffalo is an ignorant white man name and bison is unique only to these animals where as buffalo is used to describe many different species white men named.
Sad
Give them to the reservation alive. What good is dead animals. Alive there is a future
Millennial native Americans would be AFRAID of bison.
T4TEXASTOM JOHNNYCAT no, we would not.
T4TEXASTOM JOHNNYCAT we love and miss them and hate y’all for killing them
Get your facts straight. Wood Bison are bigger were in Alaska in 2016 .Last time I heard Alaska was an american state.
💚
Unfortunately people keep coming back too.
Can we sign something to like, not touch this area, like ever? Just designate this spot to never be touched by man as a reminder of how is supposed to look? OKay? Thank you...
Buffalo are extinct, those are bison.
Arnt they the same animal? If you are talking about pure bred then the ones in Yellowstone are.
gmod for the first grand canyon thing bruh 0:00
We need to buy more land to give them room to live. Not much to ask given how few are left and what we did to them in the past.
Are you willing to give up your home and your job?
dean nelson He said buy not take
Buffalo is also a "white man's word" dufus… BTW why don't they just send the surplus bison out to some other national park in the Great Plains??
They send Surplus bison two Native American tribes and a few state parks around the country.
Love to see that, but aoc might want to get rid of the bison, due to has !
schame on you
Um... Buffalo is Latinate word.
that's a shame😢
Why does he say the 1800s. Why doesn't he say 19th century like normal people??
get over it.
Who defines normal? Is it you and your perspective?
Nobody:
News: save bison's
2:50 bison is a white mans term? Really?
Where does the term buffalo come from? I can tell you right know.... it ain’t native!
ubastich oh you big mad
@@aidenv5630
Triggered.
Lol
Let them free around poor babies
Go bills!
If anyone starts killing these things again I'm calling Charles
Let them flourish in native American reservation lands and they will. And allow native Americans also be engaged in THIER commercial value.Thats what is stopping that from happening Buffalo meat is in demand and again greed stops progress.
The native Americans hunted bison to local extinction in several parts of America. This is just historical revisionism playing into racist stereotypes of natives being magical or something other than just regular humans
Hurry ship some to their cousins or anyplace that has a similar environment that isn’t America.
lol, buffalo is the white man term. . . bison is the actual term.
The prophet of almighty GOD said that soon ,there will be an earthquake at Yellowstone.
Look him up on RUclips.
Uh huh, what's his name?
they coming back to die the is no place for them to go😞
This is all wrong the army was sent in to protect the last remaining 23 bison from the Indians killing them for game and other reasons wasn't westerns even though they had a part it was primarily the Indians and out army stopped them.
Ryan Presgraves also, the majority of the bisons were killed my white poachers not natives. Natives cherished the species and had lived along side them for hundreds and hundreds of years before Europeans came to America. This shows that the main cause of their near extinction wasn’t natives but foreign ranchers.
Ryan Presgraves ur stupid
Ryan Presgraves You are so wrong. The red man had much respect for the buffalo. They only took what they needed, and they did it with great respect. To them, the earth, and everything on it were one living thing. the Lakota word tatanka was "he who owns us", also known as the buffalo in the white man's tongue.
No one cares about the red humans calling the Bison a Buffalo incorrectly. Just save the damn animal and quit the virtue signaling
1rst
Native bisons are back, while the native ppl are gone😔
Both still exist, as they must in the year 2020.
Wayne VanderLeest they are mixed 70 white 30 native
sad to say those hunters have to die only to come back as a animal 2 be hunt 1000 times hunt only to survive hunting sport are for cowers
you don't call it a "buffalo" because "bison" is a white man's term considering the fact that "buffalo" is just as white as "bison." you call them buffalo because you're uninformed. it's a common misconception that theyre the same animal but they are totally different.
S ok
So they can be slawtrred by our government when herds get to bigen today
e
Iranians the new indians? Get off our oilfield.
Hey Native americans, there is a real Buffalo in other countries, just learn from your mistakes.
Bison isn’t a white man term. The original European settlers called bison buffalo because they mistook them for the buffalo of Asia and Africa. Literally couldn’t have missed the mark any further than you did 🤦🏻♂️
Great scenery.
Awesome animals.
Spare us the propaganda please.
