Ancient buffalo DNA lays out a roadmap to rehabilitating healthy herds. Genetic analysis of bison dating back 20,000 years shows how the 19th-century slaughter reshaped the species—and how today's herds could recover. By Warren Cornwall August 19, 2026

Fears of contamination from cattle also appear to be overblown. The analysis turned up traces of livestock DNA in roughly a third of the modern-day bison genomes. That means the majority of bison hadn’t been tainted. And in those that did contain evidence of cattle, it represented less than 2% of their genomes.

The study showed that wood bison are genetically distinct – having diverged from plain bison approximately 3,000 years ago.

This popped up in the news the other day (a page showing images of bison from several sources) I didnt see anything that was not a common image, so I didn't share it.

It showed up gain in my feed this morning, upon a closer look....

The headline:
Incredible photos of the magnificent bison. by Barry Werner - List Wire Aug. 15, 2026 ......what the, hmmm this bison doesn't look right. (thinking it might be a cross)

I called the zoo to see if they even had bison and they do not, but they do have yaks. 😁
