During a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park, we were delighted to see dozens of newly-born Bison calves. The weather was perfect and we had a bonus of having a full-grown male bison stroll through our campsite. According to the National Park Service, "the bison population fluctuates from 2,300 to 5,500 animals in two subpopulations, defined by where they gather for breeding. The northern herd breeds in the Lamar Valley and on the high plateaus around it. The central herd breeds in Hayden Valley." See https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/bisonfaq.htm
