You’re already familiar with our bison thanks to THE ZOO. Now, 8 purebred bison we received as a gift from the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes are on exhibit. This historic transfer is part of our longtime work on bison conservation. | Bronx Zoo

Last month, we shared that we had transferred six genetically pure Bronx Zoo-born bison to the Osage Nation in Oklahoma as part of a conservation program that has been years in the making.
