Differences between the wild species of buffalos and the domesticated species of

modern cows. Scientists have been trying to make buffalo more domesticated like cows.

The Crow people had a long standing way of killing buffalo, cliff jumping. That

practice allows the Crow people to get enough meat and hide and bones without the

dangers of hunting buffalo. This journal could be used to explain the history behind the

slaughtering of the buffalo, and to give background information about the tradition of the

First People.

are some other things threatening the buffalo.

This article could be used to figure out what qualifies as a habitat, and what

humans can do to help preserve these habitats. Could as be used to determine if

Yellowstone should kill the buffalo to save the other animals that call Yellowstone

home(habitat).

Hunting buffalo,and slaughtering them has been in practice since before

the arrival of white people in America. And was than made popular with the

arrival of the white people, and the increasing need for hides, and meat. The

creation of the train also made the slaughter of buffalo easier, since a person

could just shoot them from the moving train car. This article could be used to give

examples of why people still allow the murder of buffalo, the it has been done for

years why stop now reasoning.
