You guys act like this is something special.

Heck in ND we still have the indians roaming around too!

(Granted it's mostly near the casinos or walmart though.)

AS you can see from this hidden camera view psychologists placed a stuffed buffalo in the middle of a lesser traveled road during a open blind study to see how intelligent or not so much the average person was.

The final report showed that people from rural locations figured out it was not a real animal in less than five minutes. However people from large urban areas.... well to be honest most of them are still baffled as to how two guys in lab coats can pick up a buffalo and load it into a van after it stands motionless for 6+ hours.

What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

..... You can't wash your hands in a buffalo!

Sorry!!!!!

I thought I'd seen that somewhere before...

"The worst buffalo behavior in the park is limited to standing in the roads and keeping traffic at a standstill for long periods of time."

I've seen what an Elk (Lone Elk Park in MO) in a bad mood can do to a VW Beetle. I can't imagine what a Bison could do to a car.

See, I told you Buford, whenever I get a hankering to see some dumb tourists - I just trot over here to this strip of hard ground and they start gathering around. They are a little skittish though. If I make a quick move they all seem to run for cover. It's sort of entertaining for a while. What should we do the rest of the day? Where are the moose hanging out today? Hey, I heard/herd there's a great patch of grass over the next hill.

That Buffalo is thinking "I'm far bigger than that little chitbox of a rollerskate import.....let's see how much damage I could do to it".

Just saying, they can be nasty when they want to be.

Exasperated buffalo: ''Nooooo, but if you hum a few bars, I'll try to fake it...''

In an effort to go "green" the state of New York has replaced the metal signs with more eco friendly substitutes such as this. "Welcome to Buffalo"
