So this time we’re going to try and fill the gap in between – how did we go from such abundance to such scarcity in such a short time? Well, like almost ’s complicated. In our last episode, we introduced two numbers: 50 million wild bison before Europeans arrived in North America, 23 wild bison in the United States in 1901. So when you think about the long history we’ve had with this animal, our current, mostly bison-free existence starts to look like an anomaly. Who knows, they may have inspired us to make that crossing ourselves. In fact, they crossed over the Bering Land Bridge into North America hundreds of thousands of years before we did. They were with us on the long trek east through Siberia at the end of the last Ice Age. We even engraved their images onto little pebbles and bones, so we could carry them with us as we spread out across Europe and Asia.
Along with the horse, we painted them more than any other animal.

We quickly learned how to hunt them, and from the artwork left behind on cave walls, we can tell they became incredibly important. Somewhere north of Turkey we probably happened upon bison for the first time. Keith Aune There’s stories all along the way.Īmy Martin Humans first encountered bison around 75,000 years ago, on our great migration out of Africa.

And people don’t realize, mariners saw them off the coast of Florida when they were sailing around, you know, the Gulf Coast. Keith Aune … And you would find them in meadows and grasslands. They didn’t really like coastal areas.Īmy Martin But, just go a few miles inland. Keith Aune They occurred from the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico – northern Mexico had lots of bison – all the way to central Alaska. They were Indian and buffalo trails that went through the forest and the woodlands.Īmy Martin Picture them drinking from the Trinity River in downtown Dallas, courting each other on State Street in Chicago, giving birth to their calves in Freedom Park in Atlanta. Keith Aune Daniel Boone and all of his wanderings around – we think he found trails and made trails? He didn’t make trails, he followed buffalo traces. Keith Aune They occurred from Virginia to the California, nearly the California coast.Īmy Martin We think of buffalo as a western animal, but they belong in Massachusetts and New York as much as they do in Wyoming and Montana, where I live. And I am the director of bison programs for the Wildlife Conservation Society.Īmy Martin And Keith says that almost without exception, wherever you are in the United States, bison used to live there too.

It’s browsing on the little patch of grass between the strip mall and the gas station. It’s wandering across that field, that highway, that playground.
