Buffalo were once on the San Juan Islands! We call them “buffalo,” but the correct name is bison, not the small tame things found in Yellowstone Park (2 tons) and on the Yakima
Indian Reservation today. These were 4 tons and 8 feet tall, thought to be extinct for 10,000 years … just like the wolves of the Islands.
