Where the Buffalo Roam: Bison in America

by Kate Waters

Overview

Buffalo = Bison = the All-American Animal


The American bison (buffalo) is one of the most recognizable North American mammals. In fact, it is the official national animal of the United States—where you'll still find them roaming.

This photo-filled reader explores the natural world of the huge, shaggy beast, its habits and habitats, and the buffalo's cultural and iconic importance, especially to American Indians.
