Thank you SCI Foundation and Alaska for working this project. It just thrills me to see bison being reintroduced to American landscapes. I hope they thrive. They are wonderful animals and part of our American heritage that we nearly lost forever.

It's amazing how not many people realize that bison are native to Alaska

I was one of them, i thought they weren't.. now they need to bring Musk oxen as well to complete the picture.. they brought some of them to Russia when some scientist discovered they were also part of the ecosystem

American hunters do much of the hands on, get down and dirty, environmental work. Much respect. Quality Deer Management Association has a journal "Whitetail Journal" with great environmental projects and research. Whatever improves the environment for deer improves it for all parts of the ecology ... just as the bison do. Loved the flower covered head blinds!

Herbivores are amazing creatures

Under half a million Bison/buffalo left in N.America which sounds like many, but in 1700 there were 40 million and the 1600's closer to 50 million. In 1920 they were almost gone.

Bison, beautiful animals.

You all are so inspiring! Thank you for your work and education!

I'm impressed.Thank you.

Great work guys!!!!!

If their numbers are finally high enough the bison will open up the forests by themselves and won't need to rely on preopened habitat any longer. Wild grazers are so important to maintain open areas for native meadows and the associated insects, birds etc.

Nice work SCI and hunters.

Extremely Outstanding!!!🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆☕☕☕

I think a musk ok reintroduction would recreate traditional AK ecology

Brilliant

Thx. Great

Fantastic to watch, but will them collars get tight has the bison grow?dont want them choking after all they have been through

Great question! Yes, the collars get tighter as the bison grows. However, our researchers make sure to capture them and re-adjust the collar as needed. This is true for every study that involves collaring wildlife. Thank you for your support and please feel free to visit our blog First For Wildlife on Wordpress!

Awesome

How are the bison handling wolves and bears? Formidable predators.

Great that they can be a part of nature again and also in natures circle with apex predators.

Redundant, thanks.

Sinse México, congratulations.

How many of them are there

So, you're saying that since there are miles of untouched grasses, that the Bison are underpopulated relative to the regions ability to carry?

Was Bison Historically/Native to that place or places like it? I hope their isn't a concern about the land being to soft for the Bison weight. I like the idea of having places for Bison, but I just hope they are put in the Right places.

What happened to the bison?Were they all shot?

Now all we gotta do is reintroduce the true wild horse in Alaska and camels

any new births

What kind of predators do they face in that area?

Did the Bison come from Alberta?

@scifoundation620

Brian Fairey Yes. SCI Foundation assisted in bringing the bison to Alaska from Alberta. We helped by feeding them while in captivity, expanding and outfitting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and finally transporting them by truck to the release site! Please feel free to check out our blog #FirstForWildlife @wordpressdotcom and enter “Wood Bison” in the search bar to see how this was achieved!

Absolutely not! Unless a species is highly endangered or nearing extinction, protecting them from predation is extremely counter-productive. Wolves, grizzles, and other large-mammal predators will help cull the herd of older, weaker, and sickly animals. This is vital to the overall health of the herd. Conservators recognize and respect that thriving ecosystems naturally go through cycles where predator and prey experience population growth. The growth of one serves as a healthy counterpoint to the growth of the other. The right goal is balance.

White man almost kill off the bisons. Hopefully, the White man will bring it back.

ok, now leave them alone, they didn't need you pre columbus time, and they don't need you now.

Do you need any Germans out there? :)
