Description
Roam free and be wild with our new bison puppet. This fascinating educational puppet assists children's imaginations to soar while learning about this historical American creature. The movable mouth and forelegs helps bring this creature to life.
Spanning back many centuries, Native American tribes have had cultural and spiritual connections to the American bison. It is the national mammal of the United States.
These mighty animals once roamed North America in vast herds with an estimated population of 30 to 60 million in the late 18th century. The combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle nearly caused their exctinction. The species was down to approximately 541 animals by 1889. Theodore Roosevelt, William Hornaday and other men formed the
American Bison Society
in 1905 to ensure the species' survival.
Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century. An estimated 500,000 bison currently exist on private lands and 30,000 on public lands which includes environmental and government preserves.
Roughly 15,000 bison are considered wild, free-range bison not primarily confined by fencing. Native American tribes have led to the establishment of major buffalo herds in Montana by the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, Fort Belknap Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribes and the Blackfeet Nation.
