Minor quibble with the article: How do wild bison roam free in an enclosed 1400 acre area? 1400 acres isn't that big.

"...1400 acres isn't that big...."

Still, this is a big move when you consider the entire herd of all living American bison was 'way down at the turn of the century to just a few in...NEEEW YAWWK!

1400/16 = 87.5 acres per bison = plenty big

One reason that the buffalo herds were decimated is that their tough hides allowed them to ignore most any fence.

Give them enough time, and they will push right past the fenced in areas and out into traffic.
