Re: [SPAM] [RC] Native or Feral? - Sisu West Ranch

Want to realize that the waters are even muddier than that?  Article in this AM Missoulian about the National Bison Range. 
 
Nobody here would argue that the Bison (American Buffalo) is not native to N America and is not a wild animal.  The article mentioned, sort of as an aside, that some of the Bison on the range do not have cattle genes, and are a valuble resource because those in Yellowstone Park have more cattle genes.
 
The question then becomes:  How much cow DNA can a Buffalo contain before it is no longer a "native" "wild" animal??
