although rare for Yellowstone, white buffalo nowadays are not that rare. True Albino buffalo occur at an estimated rate of 1 in 10 million, but most all modern white buffalo are dark-eyed white as a result of a cow gene, generally from the Charcolais breed of cattle. The below article notes ".. herds of exclusively white bison with dark eyes can be found in Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Saskatchewan." The Sioux and other tribes view the birth of a white buffalo as a signal their prayers have been answered and good times are coming . Irregardless, it's still a cute little critter.

You beat me to my point. White Buffalo are no longer all that rare, at least not in the United States. Maybe there are enough White Buffalo around today, so they can randomly start breeding, and creating more ‘shocking events’ of nature.

the bison is undergoing reeducation as we speak- it will no longer display it’s white privilege in public

Some of those Sioux equate the white buffalo w/ Jesus. I prefer the real Jesus; He alone can save from sin.

Has anybody consulted Elizabeth Warren? Did they do DNA on this buffalo yet? Can’t be too careful about these fake white buffalo’s.

Did Taylor Sheridan arrange for this to happen to somehow promote the reboot of his “Yellowstone” TV series?

This brings to mind an episode of the 80s sitcom “Newhart.” The townspeople were excited because there had been a sighting of “The Great White Elk.” Local legend held that it meant good luck for everyone during the coming year - until Bob accidently ran it over.

I remember a White Buffalo born a a few years back. Caused quite a stir among the tribes till someone shot it dead.

The white calf was reportedly spotted shortly after its birthDid the spots fade out later?
To: blueplum
Back in the late 1950s, a “White Buffalo” calf was born at the Moise National Bison Range near St. Ignatius, MT. I recall a drive up the hill from the whistle-stop train station (Ravalli) one afternoon, and Dad pulled the Chevy over and we all got out and gawked at it. It was frisking around a few hundred feet up the hill. Only recall seeing it a few more times. And one of Dad’s friends, an old tribal guy, told us it was ‘big medicine’. He was a bit of jokester, but he was quite serious when he said that.
