These Young Bison Could Save America's Prairie | National Geographic

- Sean Gerrity, president of the American Prairie Reserve, is working to build a bison herd of at least at least 10,000, which would make it the largest in the world. Bison help sustain a prairie's ecology, and the herd will be a key part of what Gerrity hopes will be the biggest wildlife reserve in the lower 48.

I love the Bison. One of the most important animals the world needs!
This is just beautiful.
Fantastic! ! I love you guys for what you're doing.
“This is it, this is the time to be involved”
Are they also planning to release bison into the Canadian prairies as well?
They already have in some areas. Some belong to different Indian tribes, some are "wild"(Bison are by nature wild animals and can't truly be domesticized. You don't want them to be anyway)
In Cree and Blackfoot territory, I'm pretty sure. Southern Alberta.
Inspiring
That is a great story the kind that brings hope, these natural habitats require our involvement considering humans have caused them to change on previous generations due to ignorant political policies and agendas, that only served the elites for personal gain, today we need to rethink these ideas and cause these natural processes on various open species flourish once again. We all share this planet together all it's natural beauty must be restored and managed together to the positive results with portents it requires.
SUPER!!
Fabulous ~
😍😍
- I LOVE!!!

So, no Pleistocene Rewilding? I mean, I've been aware of the APR's work for a while, and I'm happy at their work and dedication, but Pleistocene Rewilding would've been cool... :/
too many people for that to happen.
@@TSideWes805 Well, at least wild horses should find a place in there. Introducing cheetahs as a proxy species for the extinct American cheetah should also not be so controversial. They would be mostly after small prey like elk calves, mule deer, pronghorn and hares.
@@obiwahndagobah9543 There are Bobcats
@@Rumkitty2000 Bobcats are small and eat even smaller animals like rodents, rabbits and birds.
@@obiwahndagobah9543 But they are still predators. There are probably Mountain Lions in the area(Montanahas Mountainsand Forests, not just prairie), definitely wolves
Hi, a question. Is this bison pure ? Or is it a bit mixed with cattle? Regards
Hey its me!
You should talk about Pleistocene Park eventually.
They should rewild the plains with animals that once roamed the American grass lands, animals like elephants, lions, camels, horses and cheetahs, all magnificent animals that once roamed the plains that have gone extinct with a tick of the clock in geological time
There were no Camels, Cheetahs, or Elephants in North America. Wooly Mammoths, yes, but they went extinct thousands if not a million years ago.
@@Rumkitty2000 wow you are so uninformed 😹 camels, lions and cheetahs did indeed live in North America, there fossils have been found all over the continent, elephants themselves did not live here but Colombian and woolly mammoths did, they occupy the same ecological role, they did not die out millions of years ago, they died out around 11,000 to 10,000 years ago which is a tick of the clock in geological time. North America has incomplete ecosystems, simply look at the pronghorn, why run 60 miles per hour if the fastest North American predator only runs 45 miles per hour?
@@ramonbenitez1323Millions of years ago in another era! Probably when the globe had just one continent, Pangea!They do *not* belong in the North America of today!! And speaking of ignorant, the word is "their " not *there* . "There" is a location. Their is the third person possessive.
.
first
They need wolves and cougars
Both of those species are already there
Where are the predators??
If you build it they will come.
@@triciacol LOL! True though. There are Bobcats there already and there are wolves in Montana, so eventually they'll find their way there. But it's very hard for a wolf to kill a Bison. They have to get a young calf or an old weak one that is separated from the herd.
Anything but mustangs. They will destroy the ecosystem
Y
Not true. There is a balance in all things. Problem is where there are Mustangs in areas that are scrub topography and not designed for horses
