- Lithograph, "Bos Americanus, Gmel., American Bison or Buffalo," 1845 - John J. Audubon gained a reputation because of his authoritative <em>Birds of America</em> (1827-1838). This print of <em>Bos Americanus</em>, as classified by Johann Gmelin in 1788, appeared in <em>Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America</em> (1846-1848), derived from Audubon's watercolors. Audubon romanticized bison herds as family units even though cows and calves populated herds. Bulls joined only during mating season.

- "Buffalo Herd near Fort Yellowstone," 1904-1905 - Bison almost became extinct from sport hunting and poaching, but a remarkable effort was made to preserve them at Yellowstone National Park during the early 1900s. The few bison that remained were rounded up into this corral for park officials to watch over and tourists to view. The greatly expanded bison herd was returned to the wild in the 1930s.
