megangibson+FollowYellowstone Bison Are Secret GardenersTurns out, Yellowstone’s bison aren’t just photogenic—they’re basically the park’s landscapers! After tracking them for six years, scientists found these massive grazers actually make the grasslands lusher and healthier as they migrate. Every bite they take helps boost soil nutrients and biodiversity, turning the park into a thriving patchwork of habitats. Who knew bison were low-key eco-heroes? Next time you see them, remember: they’re not just chilling—they’re saving the ecosystem! #Science #Yellowstone #Bison771Share
Tamara Jones+FollowYellowstone’s Bison Are Total Ecosystem MVPsWho knew bison could be such game-changers? Turns out, when Yellowstone’s bison herds roam free, they supercharge grassland recovery and make plants way more nutritious for everyone. Scientists tracked these massive grazers and found their migration actually boosts soil health and the whole food web. It’s like a throwback to when millions of bison shaped North America’s landscape. Makes you wonder what we’re missing with all those fences! #Science #Yellowstone #Bison321Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowBison return transforms Indiana’s prairiesIndiana’s prairies are alive again, thanks to a growing herd of bison at Kankakee Sands. Alyssa Nyberg, an alum of IU’s O’Neill School, has spent years restoring this 8,400-acre preserve, and the bison are making a real difference. Their grazing creates space for wildflowers and attracts all kinds of birds and insects, while their “bison wallows” collect rainwater for amphibians and other wildlife. It’s amazing to see a piece of Indiana’s history come back to life, and it’s all happening right in our backyard. How do you feel about bison roaming Indiana again? #Pets #Indiana #Bison00Share
Matthew Kirk+FollowYellowstone Bison’s Tragic Hot Spring FallWitnesses at Yellowstone watched in shock as a bison accidentally fell into a scalding hot spring and boiled to death right in front of them. The poor animal tried to escape but couldn’t get out of the 192-degree water. Apparently, this isn’t that rare—Yellowstone’s hot springs have claimed other animals too. Just a wild reminder that those gorgeous pools are way more dangerous than they look! #Yellowstone #Bison #Wildlife #Pets465Share
kellydesiree+FollowBison Crash the Campsite PartyImagine waking up to a herd of bison just strolling through your campsite—no drama, just a total flex from Yellowstone’s real locals. Tourists had to pack up and peace out fast, which honestly probably saved them from a close call. These 2,000-lb beasts can sprint up to 35 mph and aren’t shy about reminding you who’s boss. Pro tip: keep your distance, snap pics from afar, and let the bison do their thing. Nature’s got the right of way! #Yellowstone #Bison #Wildlife #Pets60Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowBison Are Yellowstone’s Secret Ecosystem HackTurns out, bison aren’t just big, fuzzy icons—they’re the ultimate prairie power-up! A new study shows that letting bison roam wild in Yellowstone supercharges the grasslands, making plants way richer in protein (like, 150% more!). Their grazing and even their poop help everything from elk to sheep thrive. It’s like the OG American West is coming back to life, one bison herd at a time. Who knew these giants were the real MVPs of the prairie? #Science #Yellowstone #Bison980Share
