Bison Relocated From Yellowstone to Fort Peck Indian Reservation [PICTURES/VIDEO]

Earlier this month nearly 100 genetically pure Yellowstone bison were released at Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Defenders of Wildlife was on site to capture video of the release. It all started on March 19, 2012, about 60 bison were relocated from a quarantine facility outside Yellowstone National Park to the Fort Peck Reservation.

Defenders has been a long-time proponent of restoring Yellowstone bison to their historic home on the Great Plains, and the Native American tribes at Fort Peck and Fort Belknap Indian reservations were some of the first to offer their land for the return of bison.

The videos below explain the process and show the bison being moved to their new home.
