Quote: “Bison have made a remarkable comeback in Yellowstone National Park, going from fewer than two dozen animals at the turn of the last century to roughly 5,000 today. Their return, a study finds, has had a remarkable impact on grasslands in the region.” A great story, go read it. (I saw a whole bunch of those 5,000 bison in May 2024. You should go see them, too.)
An Internet rabbit hole of the first water. Bertha Benz, Chiune Sugihara, Julie d’Aubigny (wow), Jack Churchill, the whole list totally lives up to its badass rep. (h/t Kottke, I think)
Okay, this is fun–a site where you can click on a geographical something–say the state of Alaska–and then move it somewhere else–say the US–to see its relative size. (TrueSize.com)

It wasn’t until intro #40 they actually had a woman’s song. Love that song.
Also, before the bison came back, wolves were introduced into Yellowstone, and they actually helped restore the stream and river ecology by killing and eating the elk that were destroying it. This paved the way for the bison to prosper.
My brother lives outside Buena Vista, CO and there are a lot of deer, elk and bison in the area.
