Baby Bison Born Wild In Saskatchewan


Two years ago the NCC (Nature Conservancy Of Canada) re-introduced about 50 young bison at Old Man On His Back Prairie Preserve in southern Saskatchewan. Since the prairie grasslands evolved in response to grazing by bison, their re-introduction is expected to maintain the integrity of the landscape.
The success of the project is starting to been seen with fifteen bison calves being born in recent weeks and more to come!
