Program reintroduces previously-believed extinct wood bison into the U.S.

Thank goodness

Eat grass. Eat more grass. Eat grass.

And she is talking "size".

Who is the woMAN in the red dress?

When I saw the title I thought they meant the Eastern Woodland Bison, which is definitely extinct. 😭😭😭

Early natives did their share of eliminating species themselves such as mammoths and giant sloths so stop with the superiority complex.

Wonderful Program, rewarding Job

Ear white savior, please do a story on how the Siberian-Americans wiped out the mammoth, mastodon, giant sloth, etc.
'Have been looking forward to it for 62 years.

they inter bred with cattle

What a wonderful endeavour!

Great story, except, . . . These came from Canada, Yes? Where is a mention of thanks for Canada donating these bison?
Or, did you not ask for them and simply went and seized them? What's the deal, is it too much to thank to our wonderful neighbor to the north? How did the transfer come about? What is the program being operated in Canada where they had 200 bison available to generously gift them to the USA? This nationalism towards foreign nations is "No Class" in general, but, to continually do this to our best friend, North American sibling, partner and closest ally is reprehensible. Then, there's tt trump who wants to hammer them with tariffs!!! Why? How many US automobiles parts and assemblies are made in Canada? How many US branded autos are sold in Canada each year? This omission to your reporting speaks volumes to your arrogance, like you EXPECT Canada to give ALL the bison to the US. OK, more than enough said, apologies for the rant, but, I think I got the point across! OH, what? it was detained at the border? OH well, that's how it goes!

That's incorrect. There are at least 3 herds of wood bison in Southern Alaska and have been for several decades.

Send some down to Yellowstone, Olympic National Park, native reses, etc.

Why introduce something that needs more then that can provided. To understand how these herbivores can survive it needs large tracks of free range grass fields to survive. For better picture consider all of Wyoming having zero fences. Practical objective, not. The enclosure of land is the culprit of its extinction. Unless you want to make Wyoming entirely of free range for some species it’s a practice of fruitlessness. It’s another California Condor project. But if you want to feed(beef carcasses ) animals like condors have at it. Eventually private donation won’t last feed these species that needs large amount of land to survive.

More animals, less effing people. 😂😂

ya know, it might've been good to give more specifics as to what distinguishes wood bison from priairie bison, other than just to so say "the supersize version". Comparative height at the shoulder, weight, any other morphological characteristics.

Mammoths roamed the plains of the Americas. Not the largest extinct mammal we had in the north american.

This is AWESOME!!

Pretty sure this program will be on Elon's chopping block.

“Disappeared” huh? Way to white wash it, literally.

Weren't they killed by us to starve out the natives?

Excellent! Now if one can keep all the rich game hunters out; it will be successful.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT

How did they disappear? Fools swooped in👺

Awesome! It's good to see more native diversity and such an awesome animal.

LOL ... "Disappeared"? You mean exterminated by invaders right?

Too harsh of winters .

Now do the Selkirk caribou

No one in Canada ever thought wood bison to be extinct. Several herds, though small, exist in Elk Island National Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, and adjacent lands. Extensive efforts have been made for years to preserve these herds, and to limit or reverse the unintended mix of their populations with plains bison.

Disappeared,, you might be referring to being pushed to the brink of extinction by the white man for greed.

I ❤ Jeff Glor :-)

Historical sources indicate that bison populations in North America declined significantly after the arrival of European settlers. Indigenous peoples coexisted with bison for centuries, practicing sustainable hunting methods. However, the arrival of European settlers led to the near extinction of bison through excessive hunting and the destruction of their habitat. CBS, if you're telling this story, tell the whole truth.

Does this stage have a plastic wood floor??

Uh, North America's elephant would more properly be the Mammoth, or its little brother, the Mastadon. Just a fact check on an otherwise informative and entertaining video. Thanks for posting, CBS.

"...until in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, the wood bison disappeared" 🤣🤣🤣 the use of the word 'disappeared' is HIGHLARIOUS 🚩colonizer narration

Wow, CBS glossing over the real history of both these bison and native Americans basically makes this propaganda video…

Don't freaking lie to everyone and say they disappeared. Tell the damn truth! We almost hunted them to extinction because humans are stupid! Just tell the damn truth!

Sorry, dude. Bison are not elephants.

Okay this is great and all but calling them out elephant is ridiculous. They’re cool enough on thier own.

Keep Jeff Glor and get rid of Mark… Mark is biased and isn’t a good journalist.

Wait til we reintroduce wooly mammoths.

No hunting, keep the humans away.

The herd wasn't recently "found". They've been around, breeded, and conserved for DECADES. Recently introduced to Alaska about 9 years ago from Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton. EINP has been breeding both Wood Bison and Plains Bison stock for all over Canada and the US for DECADES. Wake up Americans.

Also, the US nearly killed off their now "National Bird" with DDT back in the 60s, i.e. the bald eagle but were repopulated with Canadian bald eagles. And Canadian wolves were brought in to save Yellowstone. Your welcome.

Bring them back to the lower 48 !

There are places in Virginia that are named after Bison or Buffalo.

Get it done!!

North America's equivalent to the Asian elephant was the Mammoth species. While bison and elephants share the same Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, and Class, they are in different Orders.

I didn’t even know that there was a species of wood bison at all! Revival of the large sub-polar ungulates begins! Today wood bison, tomorrow Wooly Mammoths! 😂😂😂😂

How come the wood bison "disappeared" at the end of the 19th century? Too painful? Just be honest and avoid the half-truths/half-lies.

Mammoth and Mastodon are offended that the puny Bison is called America's elephant.
