Large bison grazing in the grass — A herd of bison grazes in Custer State Park, South Dakota. Established in 1913, the park is home to one of the largest bison herds in the world, a testament to conservation efforts. The park's landscape, characterized by rolling hills and ponderosa pine forests, provides essential habitat for these American icons. Bison were reintroduced to the park in the early 20th century, helping to restore a species that had been nearly eradicated.
