The American bison (Bison bison). Officially recognized by Congress in 2016 as the national mammal of the United States through the National Bison Legacy Act, the bison is not a mere decoration on nickel coins or the Department of the Interior seal, but a true keystone species that shaped the geography, vegetation, and biodiversity of the entire continent for millennia. Unlike any bird or apex predator, the presence of the bison was measured not in thousands, but in tens of millions, an estimated 30 to 60 million once roamed the plains forming the largest concentration of large mammals on Earth before indiscriminate hunting in the 19th century reduced its population to fewer than 1,000 individuals by 1889. Its extraordinary recovery to over 500,000 individuals today represents one of the greatest conservation victories in history. Also chosen as the state animal in places like Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and possessing an undeniable spiritual and historical connection to Indigenous nations, the bison physically, biologically, and historically embodies the true strength and scale of the American landscape.
