[Leica] Bison roundup

Many of the bison that Leo showed have ancestors that come form New York. In the 1800's a group of bison were imported to the New York Bronx zoo. In the early 1900's the curators of the zoo, aware of the decimation of the bison population by overzealous hunters, sent a breeding herd out west to reestablish the bison. The experiment succeeded beyond the zoo's wildest dreams and thousands of bison now roam in the grasslands. 

By the way, bison meat is very delicious. A bit tougher than beef but less fat and very flavorful. It is widely sold in local butcher shops along with it's close sibling, beefalo steaks.
