Buffalo bump*
Is that not the way of planet earth - nothing lasts for ever and the miracles still seem to happen in each age. One day humans will be extinct too. Can you imagine how crowded it would be with every living entity ever still living. Humans would be food for the big dinosaurs. Or maybe we are just food being raised like cows for some other beings - you know “it’s a cookbook”.
And humans have corrected some of it’s blunders.
where were the Indians when you need them.
Well behaved and they all stayed on the right side of the road.
But humans also assured they survived
That was wonderful to see!
Reassuring.
“But humans also assured they survived”
Bison yes but lots of animals are now extinct from man.
China is wiping out entire fish species in South China seas from overfishing.
I like how they stayed (mostly) on the right side of the highway. Modern buffalo obeying the traffic rules.
That’s not a stampede.
That’s just a casual jog from point A to point B.
“Bison yes but lots of animals are now extinct from man.”
If we’re so bad, why can’t we eliminate those giant constrictors down in the Everglades? Or the Asian Carp, or the Snakeheads, or the walking catfish?
Correct, not a stampede...just a trot so the young calves can keep up.
"Tatanka"
The big boys with their tongues hanging out were cool too.
Most pens that I’ve seen use pipe and are round out of concern that they’ll pile up in a corner.
On sure, a hundred are cute. But now imagine a million or more animals, destroying everything in their paths, racing across the Great Plains and ask yourself, what settlements, indian or colonists, could survive such an onslaught? Not even an Iron Horse was a match - they’d run it over (the original reason men would shoot bison from trains - survival!)

They have been replaced by cattle. But now the cattle are bad and have to be banned. Buffalo are okay.
I’m confused
