CBC Showcase: Friends in the Animal Kingdom
Saving the Buffalo explores the astonishing fate of these huge animals.
by Albert Marrin
There is no simple answer to the near extinction of America's Buffalo. In 1800, they were the most common land animal in North America. By 1900, fewer than 1,000 remained. The interplay of natural forces and people, both Native Americans and settlers, played a critical role in the story of this American symbol.
