Fact: In 2016, President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act, officially naming the American bison as the first national mammal of the United States. The decision recognized the bison’s deep historical, and ecological significance — symbolizing strength, resilience, and the pioneering spirit of America. Once on the brink of extinction due to overhunting, the bison has made a remarkable recovery through conservation efforts and now stands alongside the bald eagle, the national bird, as an enduring emblem of the nation’s heritage.
