FACT or CRAP ?

captivity I've never seen them at the Zoo


FACT


Without dogs, cats, and irate bird-watchers chasing them from bird feeders, these clever little creatures can live a very long and peaceful life.

None of the buffalo ( bison ) living in America today are pure-bred buffalos; they are all cattle-buffalo hybrids.
