The main group consists of females and calves. It usually feeds on young stems and grasses and is non-territorial.

From Dominance to Near Extinction

After European colonists entered North America, bison were massacred and nearly extinct by the end of the 19th century, with only a few hundred remaining. They were eventually strictly protected and the population has now recovered. There are approximately 10,000 bison living on state-owned lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, divided into 17 bison herds and distributed in 12 states.

The demise of the entire mammoth population marked the end of the Quaternary Ice Age.

Enduring Curiosity

The mammoth is an animal that is familiar to both adults and children. You can often see this animal in movies and animations. As an extinct species, modern people will always remain curious, so casting it into bronze sculptures is also a way to satisfy people’s curiosity.
