My itchy brother up in the burbs, as well as the local buffalo network, alerted me to the recent birth in Janesville, WI, of a white buffalo (not an albino), a one-in-a-million occurrence. The top photo shows this white buffalo calf soon after he arrived in the world. Baby bison can walk almost immediately after birth. His white coat contrasts to the color of a normal buffalo calf in the bottom photo. Some Native American tribes consider the birth of a white buffalo a sacred event.
