Q: Aren't buffalo endangered ?
A: The American buffalo (bison) are neither extinct nor endangered, although a hundred years ago they numbered only about 800.During the past century, Western ranchers and conservationists have increased their population to more than 300,000. Buffalo far outnumbered the Native American population during the pre-European era. There may have been 60 million or more bison at that time.
There are currently an estimated 300,000 bison in the US and Canada.
