the nucleus of the Yellowstone herd.
Most of the private ranches in Mon

states that keep bison as dude-ranch

their animals back to the Allard

Poor Walking Coyote, who died
from too much celebration following
the sale of his herd to Pablo and AL

friends of the American bison. His
four little calves started one of the
greatest comebacks in history.
But for Walking Coyote the buffalo
might still have been on the verge
of extinction. Thanks to his pains
the species has staged a comeback un-
equaled by any other game animal.
Most people still get teary-eyed
when they think of the poor buffalo
headed for sure extinction. But ask
the Yellowstone ranger and he will
tell you that the real nightmare is too
