Day 14 (D-47) Custer State Park, Buffalo/Bison







We'll visit Custer State Park in the Southern Black Hills. It's time now for the animals in this part of the US. The park is home to a famous herd of 1500 free roaming bison.  Elk, coyotes, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goats, prairie dogs, big horn sheep, river otters, pronghorn, cougars, and feral burros also inhabit the park. The park is famous for its scenery. 
For now, a few pictures to learn the vocabulary. We'll come back to the buffalo/bison soon, knowing that "All Things Are Connected" (Chief Seattle).  They are a part of the Native American story too and the story of The Great Plains. 








My best,
Jane
