Take this video and expand it and you can see a Canadian Wood Bison. These are not the same as the American bison you could see in Yellowstone National Park; but are about 500 pounds heavier and darker in colour. They still live in herds of thousands in Northern Canada.

Yesterday, our very own Dr. Jamie Brennan (right), put 8 #experimental GPS collars on #Bison to track 3 minute interval movement behavior over the next 4 months on the NE and SD border. With positive results, the project will expand to include 30 more. #lter. With @BisonJeff.

@bison_life Can you give me some nutritional content of the bison adrenal glands? Going to prepare some today and make a video. Thanks!
