American Bison (Bison bison) - Elk & Bison Prairie - Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area

The largest land animal in North America, the American Bison, serves as national mammal of the United States since May 2016. By 1880 these magnificent animals had practically disappeared from herds of 60-70 million at their peak. Thanks to public/private restoration efforts, over 200,000 bison now roam North America. This photograph was taken in the Elk & Bison Prairie within the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky. Despite their size, bison are deceptively quick and agile. They can gallop as fast as 35 miles per hour. They herd near fresh grass, usually feeding early and late in the day.
