[Leica] Bison roundup

[lrzeitlin at aol.com (lrzeitlin at aol.com)]

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.
