Some call them Bison. I can respect that. Some call them Buffalo. I can respect that. What matters is that we make sure that we keep these beautiful critters around. I'm glad for your passion for these majestic animals.

What did the buffalo say to his son when he left for college? Bison.

For thousands of years the native Americans use the term Natonka as reference to the North American Buffalo (the great beast). In 1758 they were classified as a species bison bison. To the far north a species called wood bison range across North America and yes Europe and Eurasia also have their own wood bison or wisent.

Great information. Was raised with the term buffalo and was confused when only recently hearing bison. Visited Oklahoma in 1973 when I was a freshman and saw a live presentation of the trail of tears. A part of US American history that needs to always be taught so that it is never repeated. Enjoying watching you and your bison.

Love that you take the time to clarify that topic for everyone out there. The movie you're talking about is one of my favorites as well. Thank you always for your knowledge and input. Best to you always Rusty

as a native amarican they will always be bufflow and think about it but the hunter s were not called bison hunters but bufflow hunters. Have a wonderful day!

And next weeks video will be a quiz on bison, please know the types of bisons, the differences and where they live, know where a true buffalo comes from, and for extra credit order your Cross Timbers T-shirt... 🤣. Thanks for the info!

There's Bison in Europe aswell but it also almost went extinct. Now its mostly found only in Poland. Cape buffalo is from Africa and the water buffalo is from Asia.

When you were describing the difference between Plains Bison and Woods Bison it was helpful to see a photo of Woods Bison to compare to yours. As the old saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. I think your timing on this video is great and certainly not late. Great to see the babies growing up.

I asked my old friend Fred Flintstone (proud member of the Buffalo lodge) and here is what he told me: Bison & cattle have 60 chromosomes (which is why they can inter-breed). Swamp, River & Cape have Buffalo have 48, 50 & 52 chromosomes respectively (which is why buffalo cannot be inter-bred with Bison or cattle).

Thanks Justin for explaining the difference between these two beautiful animals. I never knew the difference. Very nice been a history teacher 👍 Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day

Great video and explanation of the name Bison. My alltime favorite movie is also Dances with Wolves.😃 However Dusty did you realize that November 21st 2020 is the 30th anniversary of the Debut of Dances with Wolves was released November 21, 1990 just two years after the Book was written and released in 1988. I still think it would be awesome if you had a small Native American camp set up in front of the Bison pasture along with a few color breed horses like Paint's and Appaloosa's maybe grazing around a small group of TeePee's set up with a fire pit in the center. I'll bet Dusty you could do a go fund me to raise the money to build such a camp. Rent out the TeePee's to camp in like your cabins! "Build it and they will come" LOL 😊🐎🏇🐴

What an interesting and informative explanation! I never really understood the difference until today and I Thank You for clearing up the difference. 👍 I'm really enjoying your channel and hope you as well.

Since you made this comment, you may have seen a video of a large herd. If not, you can find a KZread video of the bison roundup at Custer State Park to see and hear what it was like. I've not personally been there but a friend who has said that you can feel the vibrations in the ground. Dusty has one from when he was there which is even better than others I've seen.

I was raised up in Arkansas and SE Oklahoma and I grew up with people telling me Bison is a mix of cows and buffalo. You take a bull cow and a cow buffalo and you get Bison

Thank you for the video, it is super informative. I know that buffalo was kinda a general name for them, just was sure for the different. Again thanks for the vid. Great job. Take care of yourself and the family. Best wishes

I got into the habit of using the word bison simply because I am OCD about getting terms correct. They are both considered bovine, but so are goats.

That was interesting, thanks 😊

Thanks for the tutorial 😊

Thanks Dusty for clearing that up. Growing up (I'm 65) everyone called them "buffalo" and it has only been a few years I've tried to break that habit and say "bison". The wood bison looks a lot different than ours...bigger too. Let me guess...was it Eleanor doing the dust bath?!! Will you try to handle the calves some so they'll be a little more gentle? Hope your school year has gotten off to a good start! I have 2 nephews who teach; one teaches AP history and the other teaches math and coaches baseball. I know you're busy teaching and coaching!👍❤🇺🇸

Thanks for the lesson it was awesome. To me the buffalo were bigger way way back and now the bison are a little smaller thanks again

Haha I LITERALLY just Googled this after watching a bunch of your videos the other day! 👍🤣 I also learned that, early on, the United States Government waged a campaign of mass slaughter of the animals, in their efforts against the livelihoods of the Native populations at the time. So, the Government played a SIGNIFICANT role in the diminishing numbers of Bison in the Great Plains region, where there were once in the tens of millions of animals, dwindling almost entirely to extinction, before fortunately being brought back, slowly, through more recent conservation efforts, like yours. So far, every little bit has help, and there are now an estimated half a million animals of the species on the North American Continent again. Not nearly what it once was, but slowly and steadily increasing nonetheless. Which is why this is one of the few truly worthwhile KZread channels I have ever come across. Because that is so clearly one of its primary motivations. 👍 Edit; BTW, I also learned that "Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo." IS, in fact, a grammatically correct sentence. But, don't take MY word for it lol here's an explanation; io9.gizmodo.com/the-most-confusing-sentence-in-the-world-uses-just-one-1669447381

Hi. Just started watching your videos the other day, very informative. I too love history! I have my teaching certificate in Physical Education with a minor in History and Geography. I love Dances With Wolves, one of my favourite movies...seen it a few times as well! 🎥 I wish they would make some sequels as it is an interesting way to teach history! Haven’t read all the comments to know if the question has been asked “Have they done any DNA testing on the Bison”? Neat how they bounce when they get excited! One of my neighbours has a heard . We took a group of school kids to visit them . Got to bottle feed a calf. Enjoy watching your videos! Wetaskiwin, AB. 🍁🇨🇦

Ok I've always wondered about the woods and plains bison. I've always been told to look at the horns but could never really tell that much. The hair thing is interesting though. Bison also run wild in Poland.

The babies are growing soooo fast. But they are cute! May GOD BLESS!

I was thinking Buffalo and Bison were separate species. So interesting. Dusty is a good teacher.

Thanks for all the information Bison are magnificent animals and Eleanor is my favourite 💖 🦘🐨🦘🐨🦘

Question: How often do they get let out of the pen, so they can find shade? How do you get them into the pen when they are out? Would be interesting to hear about a typical routine with them!

@CrossTimbersBison

So far, none of them have got out. We try to keep them happy. We have trees for them to shade under. They come up for water a couple times a day.

Bison and Buffalo are distantly related. Pretty much the same sorta animal but different to each continent and region. Some are adapt to their grazing a lands. Their size and bone structures are actually far different from one another. As surely their horn structures greatly signal their unique breeds.

Calves are looking good! Growing fast!

That's tough! I would say they are pretty close to each other. I would say you can taste the leanness of the bison though and it has less fat in it.

I'm Dutch, and as a kid i got taught that they were called bison, so i never knew them as buffalo's (or buffels as we call buffalo's). It actually annoys me whenever i hear them being called buffalo's, because to me, they are so clearly not buffalo's, the Latin name is "Bison Bison" for Pete's sake! haha. But yeah i get it, it's an American thing, ironically which the Europeans started. I did love them from the first time i saw them, they just look cool and they're incredibly tough and nimble. EDIT: Btw, those Woods bison really make me think of Elvis.

Hi msiter good video what is the difference between us bison farm and cannada?

I always was taught Bison are from the American plains, with small horns. The native Americans hunted those. Buffalo is like the Water Buffalo, big curly horns.

What did the buffalo say to his son as he was leaving the herd? Bison. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. LOL)

I agree about Kevin Costner.

Is there bison anywhere else in the world? Loved the movie. Wish we all could have taken the msg to heart.

Interesting. I always thought buffalo was singular and bison was plural. Thanks for the info. 😁

Amen~!
