How
many buffalo are there in Yellowstone National Park? |
|
As
of the spring of 2006, the herd is about 3,500 strong.
This is a dangerously small population when compared with
the tens of millions that used to roam across America. Ironically,
it's frequently stated that 3,000 is too many buffalo, that
the number exceeds the ecological carrying capacity of Yellowstone's
habitat, thereby helping justifying the slaughter.
