Black and white bison

This big guy was out for a walk in the snow yesterday at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado.

These massive animals were hunted to the brink of extinction in the 1700s and 1800s with as few as 750 reported by 1890.  Their numbers have since rebounded with about 500,000 living on public and private lands.
