“wood bison”


I have heard of bison in the forests of the American Northeast, that are no longer there. I am intrigued by this. Are there still wood bison? Where do they live? How are they different from the plains bison?
Wouldn’t those folks in Pennsylvania and New York love to have some wandering around again? If bison expansion is being encouraged out west, surely the east will want to participate, too? Right?

Not sure about East of the Appalachian Mountains, but Bison sure ranged West of them. You can check here for more on Bison, but I'd think there are better references to be found.
