Americans are preparing to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, and the national mammal is now part of the celebration.
Three bronze bison statues are on display outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The large sculptures debuted this week and depict a bull, cow, and calf.
The installation highlights the species’ remarkable recovery after being pushed to near extinction in the 1800s.
