What Is a Bison?
Bison, often referred to as American buffalo, are large, powerful mammals that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. Recognized by their massive heads, thick fur, and large humps on their shoulders, bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and are known for their resilience in harsh climates. Bison are social animals, often seen grazing in groups, and their presence on the landscape is a symbol of the American wilderness.
History of Bison in Alaska
In the 1920s, bison were introduced to Alaska to restore populations that had declined due to overhunting. The Delta Bison Herd, established in the 1920s, is one of the most successful conservation efforts in the state. Today, these bison are a vital part of the ecosystem in Delta Junction, with the herd maintained and managed to balance ecological needs and agricultural interests.
