    The first bison birth of the season couldn’t have come on a better day. The Bearizona staff have decided to name it “Independence” Indi for short!

    logo_bearizona2Williams AZ (July 4, 2013) – Visitors helped Bearizona welcome the first bison birth this season today at the wildlife park located in Williams.

    In honor of this special day park staff have decided to name the young bison “Independence” Indi for short. Indi can be seen while participating in the drive through portion of the park, which is approximately three miles long. Other animals you will see while driving through include Rocky Mountain Goat, Dall Sheep, American Brown Bison, American Burro, Big Horn Sheep, Alaskan Tundra and Arctic Wolves, Black Bears and of course the American White Bison.

    According to the park’s Head Animal Keeper Jennifer Johnson, “The bison was born around 11:15a.m. in the American White Bison enclosure, which is a 30 acre beautiful meadow area.” Jennifer and a handful of lucky guests were able to watch the bison being born, a labor that took about 10-15 minutes. Jennifer also stated “It was amazing, as soon as the bison was born all of the other bison, including the male came over and surrounded it to clean it off and Indi was trying to walk within minutes.”

    Most bison babies can walk or run within a few hours of being born. Adult bison can grow to be 5-6.5 feet tall and weigh upwards of 2,000 pounds. When the need arises Bison can run at speeds of 40mph.

    Bearizona’s mission is to promote conservation through memorable and educational encounters with North American wildlife in a natural environment.

      I’m curious. In your article you refer to Bearizona’s newest arrival as a white Bison. Are they Bison or Beefalo? The reason I’m asking is I have recently read about a documentary being done on the White Buffalo and they referred to seeing 4 white Beefalo at a Wildlife park in Flagstaff. Are they perhaps referring to a different park? One in Flagstaff vs Williams? Or are the animals at the Williams park Beefalo?

      Here is the page where the reference was made: https://whitebuffalomovie.com/key-segments/#.UdiofTucd8E

      I would appreciate your clarification on that.

    The Apprentice

    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
