Is it bison or buffalo in Theodore Roosevelt National Park?
From 1956 to 2016, 3,752 bison were relocated from Theodore Roosevelt National Park to sites all over the country. Prior to 1967, individuals were only relocated from the South Unit of the park; since then, they have originated from both units.
