A Wyoming state park has welcomed the birth of a rare, 1-in-10-million white bison.
A state park in the southwest corner of Wyoming has welcomed an ultra-rare new member of the community — a tiny, fuzzy white bison.
Wyoming State Parks shared a photo of the new calf and its mother, which reside at Bear River State Park in Evanston, on May 16. Officials from the park toldthat the white bison calf was born weighing 30 pounds, which is small, but that it's doing well. At the time the newspaper spoke with officials on May 17, the calf's name and sex were not yet known.
"We're not sure if it's a bull calf or a heifer calf," park superintendent Tyfani Sager told the newspaper."They're real furry and it's hard to tell right off the bat." A rare white bison was born at Bear River State Park in Wyoming on May 16. Bear River State Park clarified on Facebook that the bison is not albino — it just has a rare genetic makeup giving it white fur.
"Most of the bison you find anymore have some cattle genetics," Sager told Cowboy State Daily."They were nearly hunted to extinction by the late 1800s. People got concerned about extinction and cattle inbreeding was used. A white bison birth is still fairly rare."that it's a 1-in-10-million event. It's also celebrated by some Indigenous groups.
