In reply to GWayne Pomeroy. That's absolutely right. It's thanks to the national parks, and especially Yellowstone, however, that the species survived.

Bison were purposely exterminated by the US Army and US Government encouraging their slaughter to deprive the Nomadic Plains Indians of their primary food source.

In reply to Kelly. Hi Kelly! Yes, there are bison in Grand Canyon National Park too, but I didn't include them in this list because they were introduced in the early-1900s and aren't historically native to the area. Still must have been quite the sight, though!
