Good timing. Hope the little thing can stay safe from crazy tourists and poachers.
hope its mother doesn't shun it from her teet.
And don’t forget coyotes, wolves, grizzlies, cougars, a host of natural predators as well as the elements.
@@dianamitethe1nonly703 well done listing it out, they say its missing since then so its prolly one of the things you mentioned 😂
I think wolves or a grizzly will ultimately do it in, the color will make it easier to focus on and isolate from the herd. It's still remarkable and I'm happy for the people.
@@dianamitethe1nonly703 nothing has done as much to cause suffering to bison as we have, stop blaming other predators. We are evil.
Leave them alone. 😢❤
Please, leave them alone...I live by Yellowstone.
Here come all the tourists wanting to get a selfie next to it.
You’ll be hearing about its death soon. Or the people’s death.
@@pjaybasmaigneeIt'll be incinerated in a botched gender-reveal along with the dad.
*Tourons....
@@pjaybasmaigneethen we’ll know we have less stupid people to worry about👍sounds good to me
I honestly thought the warning was going to be something about not approaching the bisons.
How cool. We get to witness the white buffalo during our lifetime!!!
Such a gorgeous creature!
I’m absolutely so excited that he was born in my lifetime
Return of Tatanka !
Bless America !
Happy Birthday Baby White Bison ❤️
Take good care of the little white blessing from Above, and we will pray for his safety, as well as yours. WE may be of different faith, but we serve the same Creator who loves us. I am so joyful for your new bundle of joy and miracle! May the bisons increase in number, and may the Native American communities stay strong and filled with courage. We will support you! Love from the Philippines.
The world is changing.
Sadly not for the better.
@@DreidMusicalXNo it will. Whatever is making everyone sin is already gone they just don't know it yet. Humans finally realizing they're the youngest species there is and remember the pecking order and chain of command of which the humans are at the bottom. Already happened it'll show up.
After reading the comments, I am glad I am not the only one crying. This has such a huge meaning. The picture of the man standing on the HUGE pile of buffalo bones is just HORRIFIC! Buffalo are such magnificent beings. I am not Native American however I love their teachings and spirituality. I was very drawn to the White Buffalo Calf Women story when I first heard it and I still am, I have a picture of her hanging on my wall in my house. When I see this calf, I get very emotional.
THEY NEED TO PROTECT THIS BABY FROM TOURISTS .
Beautiful little baby.
PLEASE stay away! Leave them be, nature deserves it. ❤️❤️❤️
Mommy bison needs to answer few questions...
😅
Hahaha
😆
Your dad must be really scared right now.
What a beautiful name, Returns Sacred. 💕 this made my day.
a tiny fraction of them remains. One fraction. singular.
They will ignore it like all the other warnings. 😢
And drowned again. This is it humans your final chance for redemption. This is it. Don't even act like you're in control because it's obvious you're not. When you can't control yourself you can't be in control. A world wide virus wasn't enough to wake them up? What happens if the angelic realm refuses to protect the humans because the humans refuse to obey the ten commandments like everyone has to? If they think they are exempt from the ten commandments you're deceiving yourself.
I live by Yellowstone...people are so ignorant.
Mother Earth is fine and the white buffalo is a good sign
Protect it from poachers. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Weird how the white bison appears as US falls in on itself.
How poetic irony...
I have a white male deer i feed everyday. He comes right up to me.
People are ignorant. This baby is a confirmation that we better be ready to meet our Great Creator. This is a prophecy of importance. Quit being stupid everyone.
Great job doing news stories on this, you totally won't have killed that Bison.
Am i the only one who sees that f'd up face on the thumbnail? 😂
Native Americans are spectacular people. They are wise and can lead us if we listen to them. I love them🩵
✨️White is beautiful✨️
Park Officials et al need to do everything to protect the White Bison Calf
This is at least the third time during my life where a white bison was born and some sort of prophesy was supposed to happen.
The american bison are a keystone species. This means that bison shape the ecosystem to such a degree that if their presence is lost it would change drastically and have negative impacts on many other species that depended on them and their habits.
CITED: American Prairie
our creator is the father , son and Holy Spirit.
I am hopeful that this country one day will be run by the native, American Indian.
So the whole country can look like the reservation
Well that's dumb.
What would they do to the Whites? Probably what they used to do other Indian tribal enemies.
They can't even run a reservation.
What a beautiful creature
Historians say… 🤔
Instead rando YT guy prob knows better...
That was nice, right? "I ain't claiming nuthin'! Somebody once said, 'White people were a problem.' Sure as heck wasn't me!"
I caught that too, almost as if it’s hard to believe.
@@FD-qd7zy what historians? Kids…
Liberal Marxist Anti-White historians.
Buffalo were mass slaughtered for their hides and for sport, not to purposefully starve the Indians.
the US government provided and still provides commodities to feed Indian tribes.
Mother Earth has sent us a message !
We need to protect it❤❤❤❤
I love seeing them all over Wisconsin now we have longhorns
That calf needs to have 24/7 protection from idiots
Beautiful.
Thank you for saving me. I'm Bob rosses kid. Can you guys help me with with vision works and dream works and Playland please.
It's called albinism and it's rare in bison but not unheard of. And are we really gonna take into consideration the myth of a people that thought it to be ok to send their young into the wilderness, high on peyote, looking for spirits.
It means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
Uncle Ted Tell us what now?
Oh come on. It's not the first one. It happened at the bison ranch years ago.
Trophy Hunters or Tourists. That’s who’s gonna end up killing it.
Great White Buffalo !
I hate what the Government does to everyone and anything that gets in their way. They are discussing people. Think what they did to the American Indian, and they are doing it to us.
Please Arvol, take care of this!
Arthur Morgan has entered the chat.
Stop the killing of the bison.
DreamKeeper is a good movie from Hallmark.
gorgeous
Read recently that they are having trouble finding the new white bison. Is that true?
Actually, what I heard somewhere (probably in one of my biology courses) was that American Bison were actually greatly overpopulated in the 1800s, prior to being hunted almost to extinction. Vast herds of millions of grazing animals can devastate an ecosystem almost as easily as hunting them to extinction, and would have resulted in mass starvation anyway. That's why it's important we manage wild herds today instead of going from one extreme to the other.
I think what you heard is wrong. Nature has a way of taking care of these things and mass starvation is not one of them. When white man came and started to put fencing up keeping the Buffalo out of their traditional grazing grounds that might have happened, but instead white man shot them to extinction. There were only a few left, can't remember how many but not enough to have the diversity in the gene pool to create a healthy herd. So they bred them with this little type of Bison that lived in the woods. You can google that if you want to know about these little Bison. I can't remember their name. Sorry. Anyway they kept breeding them through many generations until they had the diversity they needed and the size and look they wanted. And that is our Buffalo today.
Another interesting thing about the Buffalo is their hooves do not tear up the land as cattle hooves do. Because they evolved along with the land their hooves are different than cattle hooves.
They haven't seen it in days.
Co existen with our mother nature. That represent peace,in Central America was born a white Baby cat.Mother nature is talking to us ,❤😮
It's not a myth about the woman.
Good Movie..White Buffalo
They need to protect that baby white calf at all costs!
Why? Our forefathers would've killed it! Are the forefathers bad? Was America bad?
Why? It's not good for the population if the odd ones are over protected. If they start breeding more and more in the wild, they'll lose their natural protective colors.
@@ithewho6603this isn’t an odd Buffalo. This is a prophecy. Maybe u could look up the info. This is huge to us natives.
@@anntunaley9974 I don't care nor believe in any prophecies. It's only a leucistic bison, that occurs in many species of animals including snakes, orcas, moose and so on. Albinism is complete lack of pigmentation, leucism is a condition of partial lack of pigmentation, which this calf has. It is odd, because it is genetic mutation. Sort of like nature's malfunction. The reason why albino and leucistic animals don't often survive to adulthood is the lack of camo. Albino predators can't hunt as well and herbivores can't hide as well as normal colored ones.
@@ithewho6603eh, a single white one won't be an issue
If the colour is actually that detrimental it will be filtered out by natural selection in later generations
The Native American myth of the White Bison is a sacred story particularly significant to the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota (Sioux) tribes. This legend centers around White Buffalo Calf Woman, a spiritual being who brought important cultural and spiritual teachings to the people.
According to the myth, two young Lakota men encountered White Buffalo Calf Woman while hunting. One of the men disrespected her and was turned into bones, while the other showed her respect and was instructed to tell his people that she would visit them. When she arrived, White Buffalo Calf Woman gave the Lakota the sacred ceremonial pipe and taught them seven sacred ceremonies, which include practices for purification, healing, and maintaining harmony with the earth.
White Buffalo Calf Woman promised to return one day and bring peace and unity to the world. She transformed into a white buffalo calf before leaving, which is why the birth of a white buffalo is considered a sacred and significant event. This rare occurrence is seen as a sign of hope and renewal.

People with cows yet again driving wildlife to extinction. Being vegan 🌱 is so simple. Make a decision and make a difference
We need hope and renewal now.
I'm crying - this is huge. The one born in Texas was bred to be white. This one in Yellowstone is the fulfillment of prophecy. ❤
You don't make sense thete have been other white buffaloes 😮
It's been missing since last month. Look it up.
@@skameron831😢😢😢Oh no. No news?
It is just a leucistic or albino bison. That happens in nature, but they rarely survive to adulthood because they don't blend in, no protection color.
I am glad I am not the only one crying.
People leave this precious special baby alone. ❤❤❤
Please ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is missing apparently it hasn’t been seen since the 4th of June 😢😢
@@linthexplorer814how you know
@@YouscrewingwitmeYellowstone released a statement about it. They haven’t seen it since the 4th of June
I live by Yellowstone...Thank you.
As a Native American this brings tears to my eyes & both joy & sadness to my heart! Growing up we were always told the story of the white bison and I’m shocked I lived to witness the arrival of this beautiful baby bison aka a warning to all the inhabitants of this beautiful earth!!

What I want to raise are Bison that only get the size of a commercially grown hog. Still powerful, but much less so than the current size. Dwarf Bison.
Only if they’re pure this one has a black nose
@@Qingeaton there is not such thing i think your talking about a minture highland cow ?
How beautiful the celebrations, the fact that the photographer was there at the birth. Truly magical. ❤✌️
....Actually truly spiritual!

Yes. We should have a month dedicated to indigenous Americans. We have Juneteenth etc. Such beautiful culture and rich history
That black and white photo with the bones is horrifying. Leave to man to make a mess.
Well back then, they had no refrigerators...and other animals birds, finished off the carcass.

The WHITE man. This is all his doing. His crimes, his responsibility, which he knows nothing about.
The symbolism of change and prosperity Born at Yellowstone couldn't come at a better time.
I pray people leave it alone to grow up in its herd.
Right when Trump is about to take back office 🙏 good times to come

Youre ancestors did it.
what are u talking about u never seen a white animal chill
Would you let them live in your town?
I agree. Needs garlic. Oregano is for savages.
We had a couple buffaloes in Golden Gate Park when I was growing up. I remember one time we stopped and went to look at them and my mom explained that men nearly made the buffalo extinct. I still remember that scene and in my child’s mind I thought, why?
The sounds of the buffalo at the beginning reminds me of my grandpa taking his afternoon nap. Seriously though I feel really cheated to not live in a world where millions of buffalo are thundering across the landscape.
Then you should book your safari to Africa or Asia because there are plenty over there but there have never been any in America.
@@obsidianjane4413 Bison, whatever. Gigging people on widely accepted vernacular only serves to make you look like a sad person.
Indians drove them to the edge of extinction several times.
@@obsidianjane4413you are referring to the Water Buffalo silly.
American buffalo is different-
Just watched the old x files episode where a white buffalo was born and is said to bring great change.
@gorydoughnut9789 That's so interesting (X-Files). I loved that show! Do you happen to remember the Title of the episode you watched or the Season/Episode number? I would thoroughly enjoy watching that especially after hearing of this rare birth. Would it be called an albino bison? I certainly hope that theory of change to come is true. This world certainly needs change for the better and soon. BTW, you have a very unique username 😊. How did you arrive at that?! Should you reply ~ thank you. Your comment was intriguing!
@@lindahaggard6416 It is not an albino. They said it has black eyes. A true albinos eyes would look red/pink due to the lack of any pigment.
@@sandi-midnight-mueller6550 True. It did look like it had blue eyes, though.

Grown? Maybe if they ever spot it again, its gone missing, looks like youre gonna have to photoshop a normal bison till another one is born 😂
Aww the baby bison is so adorable!!!!
I pray for it’s safety!
Surely seems like a sign from God to listen to our indigenous friends and take better care of our Mother Earth! Thanks for sharing!☮️

Many cultures have had their rendition of The Global Flood for instance. This IS the right time for a change. "It is not up to mankind even to direct his own step" The Bible quotes. There WILL be a thousand year reign! The real one will be much better. Christ will reign for a 1,000 years and THEN he will hand it over to his Father. He will have co-rulers. The rest will have the hope of living forever on earth the way it was originally purposed. It will come to pass!!!

I learned about this phenomenon years ago, from of all things, an episode of the XFiles. The white bison calf is a sacred being who must be protected.
This Bison is special. It was born in the wild, not on a ranch. Yes, there was another, but she was part of a domestic herd. When was the last time a white buffalo was born in the wild?
MSNBC should know , control the food, control the people.
They do
Just like what the present day far left democrat deep state government is trying to do now by having all the food manufacturing plants and meat processing plants destroyed throughout the USA, along with killing and or destroying a majority of the cattle, chicken, and turkey farms throughout the USA. Also, all the farmers crops are being destroyed by the governments modified weather using, HAARP, Chemtrails, NexRad, and NASA's Microwaves that's causing the lakes, oceans, seas, and the atmosphere to heat up and then they make up the big lie and scam, saying it's climate change. Everything I said here is truth, all you have to do is research everything I said here, the truth is easy to find.
How wonderful! Take care of him and yourselves.
White bison in nature are another level of rare, with none known in Yellowstone - the continent’s largest wild reserve of the animals.
There was a white calf born in Wisconsin in 1994... another white calf born in Jackson, MI not too long after that. I saw both.
Nothing happened. There was no increase of peace or unity. I truly wish there would have been, and hope this time there will be. (I'm First Nations)
Thank you! I thought I had read about it.
I live not far from Jackson Mi and I do not remember this at all… how crazy. Thanks for the info Definitely going to look this up.
Eh, during the 90s there was a lot of small wars going on. Compared to then we have decreased the amount of wars, but the danger lately has been more intense, especially when it comes to nuclear warfare.
What is First Nations? If that’s an Indian tribe I haven’t heard of them before, and I thought( I knew most of them by name (in America at least).

@@nannyoverzet1954 neither way is bad
well, where is he now?? Born on June 4, has not been seen since, according to park officials. Did he turned brown, loosing his white hair, is he dead, was he poached for money????
In a fifty-five-year period, 1830-1885, soldiers, hunters, and settlers killed more than 40 million Buffalo in their war against the Indians.
The government encouraged it. Someone said back in the day that they should strike a medal, with a dead buffalo on one side, and a starving, submissive Native on the other.
It bothers me. We should have given them large areas that we didn't mess with.
Apartheid US for sure
Indians killed their share as well in some cases running herds off of cliffs.
Anglo people
I hope they keep an eye on it and protect it because i got a bad feeling a lot of dumb tourists are gonna be trying to get selfies with it, or worse, trophy hunters will try something.
What an amazing privilege to witness this calf 🥰
I could only remember that whole scene in "Dances With Wolves " ❤
I always think of the rotting carcasses and mountains of buffalo bones. (Until the Ken Burns documentary, they rarely showed the unedited photos).

White Buffalo calf is NOT Albino.
According to the legend White Buffalo calf woman said the calf would be White but with dark eyes, holves. NOT albino.
Indigenous people all over the world have similar legends and prophesies that should be respected and honored. I have Cherokee heritage. My father was born in Hominy Oklahoma and his families names are on the Dawes rolls from the Trail of Tears.
He taught me legends, much of the language and to honor mother earth, the creator. I am Tsalagi.
Sweet. Please keep him safe 🙏😭
