Description
An American Bison bull on the Great Plains. The 'aged' sepia coloring of the image invokes the old American West when hundreds of thousands of these creatures roamed the landscape. 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 now living on public and private lands. Native Americans call them Tatanka, a Lokota word that translated literally means "bull buffalo." Taken at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Colorado.
