Plains bison, a relative newcomer to the area, was introduced in 1968 and has since thrived.
Pink Mountain is also the only place in the province where wild plains bison roam.
These captive herds are particularly important for conservation and recovery purposes, because the larger free-ranging herds in and around Wood Buffalo National Park were infected with bovine brucellosis and tuberculosis after 7,000 plains bison (Bison bison bison) were trans-shipped by barge from Buffalo National Park near Wainwright, Alberta in the 1920s.
