The American Bison is one of the two national animals of the United States and was designated as the national mammal in 2016. Once roaming the vast plains in millions, this majestic creature symbolizes resilience, strength, and the deep connection between nature and American history. Bison played a crucial role in Indigenous cultures and were vital to the survival of many Native American tribes. Despite near extinction due to overhunting in the 19th century, conservation efforts have helped restore their population, making them a powerful emblem of perseverance and renewal in the American landscape.
