A family in Texas have made a decision to put their house trained pet Bison up for sale. "She is like a precious huge dog herself", the listing said. "She leaves this airspace of safety between you and her. She's very cognizant of you as a smaller person". "I mean, she comes in the house".

She soon realized, "I tried to live the dream but I just couldn't do it. It was too big a dream". "She was featured in the children's bookHeaven is for Animals by Nancy Tillman".

She added that Bullet moves with grace like a dancer. It was clear that Bullet needed a better home.

The eight-year-old female cow and can frequently be found strolling through the hallways of her owner's home. The reason for parting with Bullet is that the large animal needs more space to roam.

After receiving many emails expressing interest, she said she plans on meeting a couple, who she thinks will make good parents to her buffalo, to discuss adoption.

"Bullet loves to chase and spar with a riding lawn mower, wheel barrow or even my truck when I'm out in the field".

Good points. In Humphrey’s case, he was signaling that a rough patch lay ahead. For example, he treed a grandfather and grandson for two hours. They were canoeing on a river that ran through the owner’s farm. Humphrey came after them, and they managed to make it up a tree before worse came to worst. Took Humphrey’s owner two hours to lure him away with apples, so the pair could escape.

It was just a matter of time.

Surely it takes two to clean up after a half-ton animal. Let’s have Reince Priebus lend Hillary a hand with the hippo litter box. Paul Ryan could fill in on days when Priebus was too busy.

There are a couple of ranchers in this area who have one or more Bison-one is a guest ranch-but their owners have sense enough not to let them into the house, and they treat them with the same caution they have with temperamental cattle-they have their own barn/stall to go into, like the horses do-one of the guest ranch Bison sometimes has a ridiculous looking bow on her head when she is in the pasture beside the guest parking area...

They are self-propelled lawn ornaments like other unusual or exotic livestock...

Hippos kill more Africans every year than alligators, by far.

Hippos are unbelievably fast, too. If you haven’t yet watched this thirty-two second video of a hippo charge, you simply cannot imagine...
