The county says the buffalo, which are technically bison, have been roaming South Park for over 100 years. Bison are distant relatives of buffaloes, which are found on other continents, but within North America, they’re called both buffalo and bison.

The American bison is the largest land animal in North America, the county says on its website. Tens of millions of bison once roamed the continent and were hunted to near extinction. Since the early 20th century, there has been a nationwide effort to restore the bison population.

The county says it keeps its herd to roughly 9 to 11 bison, with some calves born in the spring. The herd is given veterinary care and is inspected by the USDA to ensure they’ll be around for future generations. Sometimes South Park’s bison are traded with zoos and wildlife preserves to keep the genetics of the herd diverse, the county says.

Visitors can see the buffalo at the South Park Game Preserve, and there are public feedings on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9:30 a.m.

And we have to give Livvy some grace, because she’s still learning the ropes in the Steel City.

The mustached right-hander has been lighting it up during his rookie season in Pittsburgh. He has struck out seven or more batters in nine of his 10 starts, which is the most ever by a pitcher over

Skenes has also been throwing the heat, with 74 pitches of at least 100 mph, more than double anyone else in MLB.

The 2024 MLB All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 16, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Expect to see Livvy there in full support of her favorite Buc
