National Bison Day
National Bison Day honors one of the most majestic beasts to roam the land.
The official National Mammal of the United States, the iconic North American Bison, has played a cultural, economic, and environmental role in the history of the country. Central to the livelihood of Native Americans, they are also a healthy food source and vital to religious ceremonies.
The bison is the largest land mammal in North America, with males weighing up to 2,000 pounds and standing up to 6 feet tall. While cows may be smaller at 1,000 pounds and up to 5 feet tall, they’re still might powerful. Bison live up to 20 years.
Full-grown bison have a dark brown to black, thick shaggy coat. However, when they’re born, calves have a reddish coat. Their fur insulates them during even the coldest winters.
While giant herds once covered the plains, they were nearly decimated by the 1800s. Now, bison populate all 50 states living in national parks, refuges, tribal, and private lands.
Let's hope UGA stampedes the lizards. Go Dawgs.

They make a heck of a burger
With all due respect, sir. Everyone knows today is National Gator Hater Day!
There's a restaurant in Gainesville, FL that sells bison burgers -very, very good. And the bison are all grass fed and raised by UF.
We need @JoelSidneyKelly or @ForestryDawg to give us a Bison with G8R H8R branded on his side!
No problem.
NJ Bison:
