American Bison twin calves
One of my neighbors has a captive herd of American Bison,Bison bison. I often have a look at them as they are kept in a large pasture. It was interesting to see that they had three new calves. Two stuck together with one cow and I assume they are twins. They are considerably lighter in color than the adults and I see they have beginnings of horns. In reading various accounts of the species, it seems that twins are a rare ovvurence.
