There are quite a few of the little ones among the herd at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and when you come across them, you can’t help but take pictures – they are so darned cute!

It used to be we called these buffalo but that actually was incorrect. While they are part of the same family that includes the European and African buffalo, the Bison is its own, distinct species. It is believed they were called buffalo by early North American explorers due to their resemblance to the Old World species.
