Yellowstone National Park officials say a rare white buffalo sacred to Native Americans has not been seen since its birth on June 4
Mike Mease, co-founder of the Buffalo Field Campaign, speaks next to a photograph of a white buffalo calf during a naming ceremony for the recently born calf in West Yellowstone, Mont., Wednesday, June 26, 2024. The reported birth of the calf in Yellowstone National Park fulfills a Lakota prophecy that portends better times. Yellowstone National Park officials said Friday a rare white buffalo sacred to Native Americans has not been seen since its birth on June 4.
It is an extraordinarily rare occurrence: A white buffalo is born once in every 1 million births, or even less frequently, the park said. Each spring, about one in five calves die shortly after birth due to natural hazards but park officials declined to directly respond to questions about whether officials believed it has died.
